Summary

Collegiate Academy is a small, specialized middle school in San Benito, TX, serving 117 students in grades 6-8 within the San Benito Consolidated Independent School District. This school has achieved remarkable academic success, rising from the 70th percentile statewide in 2023-2024 to an impressive 93rd percentile in 2025-2026, earning a 5-star rating—all while over 70% of its students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

What truly sets Collegiate Academy apart is how dramatically it outperforms its district peers. While other San Benito middle schools like Miller Jordan Middle and Berta Cabaza Middle rank in the bottom 26th percentile (1-star), Collegiate Academy ranks in the top 7th percentile (5-star). The school is exceptionally effective with its core student populations, ranking in the 98th percentile statewide for both low socio-economic status students and Hispanic students. In reading, 6th-grade proficiency reached 94.44%, far exceeding the district average of 48.52% and state average of 53.52%. Biology proficiency was similarly outstanding at 92.11%.

Interestingly, Collegiate Academy is rapidly closing the gap with its most prestigious local competitor, South Texas Independent School District (Isd) Rising Scholars Academy, located just 1.86 miles away. In 2023-2024, Rising Scholars ranked 81st in the state while Collegiate was 711th, but by 2025-2026, Collegiate has surged to 160th, surpassing Rising Scholars' 204th place. This is especially impressive given that Rising Scholars has a lower poverty rate and higher per-student spending. The school's primary areas for growth include strengthening its program for Gifted and Talented students (currently ranked 59th percentile) and improving 8th-grade Social Studies scores, which at 39.47% proficiency, while above the district's 16.96%, still trail the state average of 31.69%.
