Summary

Antonio Gonzalez Middle in Laredo, TX, serves 664 students in grades 6-8 within the United Independent School District (Isd), and it stands out as a stable, above-average school that has shown remarkable resilience and equity-focused success since the pandemic.

This school is a standout for its exceptional advanced math program. An incredible 96.77% of students were proficient in Algebra I, far exceeding the district average of 71.35% and the state average of 54.03%. This performance is consistently higher than nearby schools like Lamar Bruni Vergara Middle and Los Obispos Middle.
