Summary:
Zip code 77566 in Lake Jackson, Texas, is served by two middle schools within the Brazosport Independent School District (Isd): Rasco Middle (grades 5-6) and Lake Jackson Intermediate (grades 7-8), which together form a complete two-tier middle school pathway.
Lake Jackson Intermediate stands out dramatically for its math program. The school achieved a remarkable 100% proficiency rate on the Algebra I End-of-Course exam in 2025-2026, nearly double the district and state averages. Its 8th-grade math proficiency of 71.32% also far exceeds the state average of 47.24%. However, this strength contrasts sharply with a "7th-grade slump" in math, where only 27.9% of students were proficient—below the state average. In comparison, Rasco Middle provides a solid foundation with consistent performance near district averages, though its 5th-grade math proficiency (44.16%) is below state norms. Both schools share similar demographics, with about 44-47% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, and similar per-student spending around $9,700-$10,100.
Other notable trends include consistent underperformance in social studies at both schools, with 8th-grade proficiency at Lake Jackson Intermediate hovering around 27-30%, below the state average. Conversely, science instruction improves significantly with age: 5th-grade science at Rasco Middle was a weak point at 20.35% proficiency, but by 8th grade at Lake Jackson Intermediate, it rose to 51.52%, exceeding the state average. Overall, parents should note that while Lake Jackson Intermediate excels in advanced math and 8th-grade science, both schools have areas needing improvement, particularly in social studies and early-grade math.
