Summary

Hobby Middle in San Antonio, TX, is a mid-sized public school serving 1,094 students in grades 6-8 within the Northside Independent School District (Isd), and it has shown a remarkable turnaround in recent years, climbing from the 36th percentile statewide to the 64th percentile by 2025-2026.

Hobby Middle stands out for its exceptional performance in advanced math, with 88.82% of students passing the Algebra I End-of-Course exam—a massive 35-percentage-point advantage over the district average. This is significantly higher than nearby schools like Rawlinson Middle (74.19%) and Stinson Middle (74.19%), and far exceeds struggling schools like Rudder Middle (45.76%). The school also excels in supporting Special Education students (73rd percentile, 4-star rating) and Gifted and Talented students (71st percentile, 4-star rating). However, a persistent challenge is 7th-grade math, where only 10.85% of students were proficient in 2025-2026, well below the state average of 29.41%. This is a common issue across the area, with Stinson Middle at 16.87% and Rawlinson Middle at 10.43%.

Despite serving a population where over 68% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, Hobby Middle outperforms demographically similar schools like Rudder Middle and Neff Middle (both in the 15th percentile) by a wide margin. Its closest competitor, Rawlinson Middle (69th percentile), has a much lower poverty rate (30.4%), highlighting Hobby's effectiveness with a more economically diverse student body. The school's upward trajectory and strong outcomes in advanced academics make it a compelling choice for families seeking a school that is clearly improving and delivering results.
