Summary

Redwater J H is a small middle school in Redwater, TX, serving 166 students in grades 7-8 as part of the high-performing Redwater Independent School District (Isd), which ranks in the 85th percentile statewide. The school has a strong track record, consistently earning 4-star ratings over the past decade, with a peak 5-star performance in the 2022-2023 school year, and currently ranks in the 77th percentile among Texas middle schools.

Redwater J H stands out for its exceptional mathematics program, particularly in 8th grade and Algebra I. In the most recent testing cycle, the school achieved a 73% proficiency rate in 8th-grade Math, dramatically outperforming the state average (47.24%) and every nearby school, including New Boston Middle (64.81%) and Atlanta Middle (35.45%). Even more impressive is the school's 100% proficiency rate in Algebra I for the End of Course exam, a feat it has maintained for four consecutive years. However, the school faces a "math paradox": while its 8th-grade and advanced math scores are stellar, its 7th-grade Math proficiency rate (15.52%) is roughly half the state average (29.41%) and the lowest among comparable schools. This suggests the school effectively accelerates top math students, but may leave a gap for the broader 7th-grade cohort. The school also excels in 8th-grade Reading, with a 71.6% proficiency rate that consistently outpaces the state average (58.69%) and most nearby schools.

Redwater J H is particularly effective at serving economically disadvantaged students, with Low SES students ranking in the 90th percentile statewide in recent years—a remarkable achievement compared to nearby schools like Hooks J H and Atlanta Middle. The school operates efficiently, with a low per-student spending of $9,156 and a very low student-to-teacher ratio of 9.5, allowing for individualized attention. Geographically, Redwater J H sits between academic powerhouses like Red Lick Middle (part of a top-10 district) and Pleasant Grove Middle (93rd percentile), and lower-performing schools like Liberty-Eylau Middle (5th percentile). This places Redwater in a unique competitive landscape, where it is a high-performing school in a region with extreme disparities in educational quality.
