Summary

Rhodes Middle in San Antonio, TX, is a public school serving 461 students in grades 6-8 within the San Antonio Independent School District (Isd), where over 96% of students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 5% of Texas middle schools for the past five years, currently sitting at the 2nd percentile, with test scores across all subjects and grade levels significantly below district and state averages. This makes it the lowest-performing school in its immediate vicinity, even compared to other struggling schools like Harris Middle (9th percentile) and Gus Garcia Middle (11th percentile).

The most striking differentiator is the catastrophic performance in Mathematics, where only 1% of 7th graders were proficient in the 2025-2026 school year—a near-total failure to teach grade-level math. This is consistently worse than nearby schools like Tafolla Middle (1.53% proficiency) and far below KIPP Aspire Academy, a nearby charter school serving a similarly high-poverty population that ranks in the 35th percentile statewide. In 7th-grade reading, KIPP Aspire achieved 54.95% proficiency compared to Rhodes' 20.34%, highlighting significant differences in instructional effectiveness. Every student subgroup at Rhodes—including English Language Learners, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status—ranks in the bottom 3% of the state, indicating a systemic school-wide issue.

Despite these challenges, there is a glimmer of hope in Algebra I, where 44% of students were proficient in 2022-2023, nearly matching the state average (45%) and far exceeding the district (26%). This suggests a potential "island of excellence" in an otherwise failing math program. Additionally, Rhodes has a surprisingly low dropout rate of 0.7% (2023-2024), lower than the district average (2.0%) and nearby schools like Dwight Middle (2.9%). However, this may simply mean students are promoted to high school despite being severely underprepared academically. The school's performance has been on a long-term decline, falling from the 11th percentile in 2015-2016 to the 2nd percentile today, indicating that previous interventions have not been effective.
