Summary
Ray D Corbett J H is a large middle school in Schertz, TX, serving 1,113 students in 7th and 8th grade within the Schertz-Cibolo-U City Independent School District (Isd). The school stands out for its exceptional Algebra I program, with a proficiency rate of nearly 88% that far exceeds the district average of 47% and the state average of 54%. This is a clear differentiator from nearby schools, including Randolph Middle, which serves a different demographic and has a 97% Algebra I proficiency rate, but Corbett's program accelerates a much larger percentage of its student body into the course. Corbett also excels in 8th-grade math, consistently outperforming the state by a wide margin, and is the academic leader among the two junior highs in its district, outperforming Dobie J H in all math categories.
One of the most compelling recent trends at Corbett is its remarkable improvement in serving students who need extra support. Over the past two years, the school has made dramatic strides for special education students, jumping from the 32nd percentile to the 74th percentile, and for low socio-economic status students, improving from the 52nd to the 71st percentile. This rapid progress suggests that targeted interventions implemented recently are proving highly effective. The school also maintains an exceptionally low dropout rate of 0.1%, far better than the district average of 0.7% and the rates seen in nearby districts like Judson Independent School District (Isd), where rates can reach 2.5%.
While Corbett is a strong performer overall, there is a notable contrast in its math programs. The school struggles with 7th-grade math, scoring slightly below the state average, which may be because its strongest 7th graders are accelerated into Algebra I, leaving a less-prepared cohort in the standard class. This suggests a potential gap in support for on-level 7th-grade math students. Compared to nearby schools in the Judson district, such as Kitty Hawk Middle and Judson Middle, Corbett provides a stable, high-quality option in a region where school performance can vary dramatically. Overall, Corbett is a solid choice for families seeking a school with strong math acceleration and a clear focus on supporting all students.
