Summary

Sealy J H in Sealy, TX, serves 664 students in grades 6-8 within the Sealy Independent School District (Isd), a rural district where over 65% of students come from low socio-economic backgrounds. The school has experienced a sharp decline in recent years, dropping from a consistent 3-star rating (55th-59th percentile) between 2016 and 2020 to a 1-star rating (23rd percentile) for the 2025-2026 school year, making it the lowest-performing middle school in its immediate area compared to top-tier neighbors like Adams J H (99th percentile) and Woodcreek J H (95th percentile).

The most critical concern is mathematics proficiency, which is drastically below state averages. For example, only 5.21% of 7th graders are proficient in math versus the state average of 29.41%, and 8th grade math proficiency sits at 22.22% compared to 47.24% statewide. Social studies is another weak spot, with just 11.81% of 8th graders proficient versus 31.69% statewide. However, there is a notable bright spot: students taking Algebra I End-of-Course exams perform exceptionally well, with 81.69% proficient—far exceeding the state average of 54.03%. This suggests the school has a strong program for advanced math students but struggles to support the majority in standard classes. Additionally, Special Education students have shown improvement, rising from the 8th percentile to the 30th percentile over the past two years.

Compared to similar rural schools, Sealy J H generally outperforms Royal J H in reading and science but is notably worse in 7th and 8th grade math. Interestingly, Sealy J H spends $9,815 per student—more than high-performing Katy ISD schools like Adams J H ($8,271)—indicating that funding is not the issue but rather how resources are allocated. For parents, this school offers a mixed picture: strong advanced math and improving special education services, but significant challenges in core math and social studies for most students, especially those from low-income backgrounds and English language learners.

What people are saying

by a parent
Monday, July 12, 2010

My child got verbally abused by other students and the school basically refused to do anything about it. We had to move to secure my child's mental health. The school maybe organized good but there is nothing I care about more than my child's safety. If you are moving to Sealy and worried about how your child is going to fit in I strongly advise not to let your child go to this school. The students are vicious and the counselors won't do anything about it. Close Quote
