Summary

Hill Middle in San Antonio, TX, is a large, high-performing middle school serving 1,057 students in grades 6-8 within the North East Independent School District (Isd), and it has a strong track record of academic excellence, consistently ranking in the top 15% of Texas middle schools.

Hill Middle stands out for its exceptional support of specific student groups, ranking in the 93rd percentile for African American students and the 90th percentile for English Language Learners (ELL), both earning 5-star ratings. This makes it a standout for equity compared to nearby high-performers like Lopez Middle, which outperforms Hill in overall subject proficiency but may not have the same pronounced success with these subgroups. The school also shows a unique "math paradox": while standard grade-level math scores are only moderately above district averages, its Algebra I proficiency rate is an impressive 99.21%, nearly double the district average. This suggests Hill is highly effective at accelerating top math students into advanced coursework, though general math instruction, especially in 7th grade, remains a challenge.

Compared to other schools in the district, Hill is a reliable, high-quality option, significantly outperforming Bradley Middle, Harris Middle, and Wood Middle. It also achieves these results with notably lower per-student spending ($7,842) than lower-performing peers like Driscoll Middle ($10,879), indicating efficient resource use. While the school has seen a slight decline from its pre-pandemic 5-star status to a solid 4-star ranking, it remains a beacon of equitable, high-quality education in a district with wide performance divides.

This school is a joke. They do not care about their students or parents. My concerns are never addressed. My child is being bullied by a teacher, whom the admin backs up. All my concerns have been dismissed. This school does not know how to handle kids that arent super achievers. I also know they like to publicly humiliate students on a daily basis. Close Quote

Most of the teachers are in their mid-20s. And do not know how to approach middle school teens, and adapt situations to the different needs each teen has. The district does not care about your child. Close Quote
