Summary

Nimitz Middle is a public magnet middle school located in San Antonio, Texas, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 1,014 students. It is part of the North East Independent School District (NEISD), which is ranked 385 out of 961 school districts in Texas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Nimitz Middle consistently underperforms compared to the NEISD and Texas state averages in STAAR test scores across all grade levels and subjects. The school's performance varies greatly across different student subgroups, with Asian, African American, White, and Multi-racial students performing well, but Hispanic, English Language Learner, Special Education, and Economically Disadvantaged students struggling significantly, ranking in the bottom quartile of Texas middle schools for these subgroups. Nimitz Middle also has consistently higher dropout rates compared to the district and state averages.

However, when compared to the higher-performing Alamo Heights J.H. in a neighboring district, the academic gap becomes more pronounced.
