Summary:
In zip code 78013, there is one middle school, Comfort Middle, serving grades 6 through 8 in Comfort, Texas, as part of the Comfort Independent School District (Isd).
Comfort Middle has 231 students and a low student-teacher ratio of 11.3 to 1, which supports personalized attention. The school shows a striking contrast in math performance: while 90.7% of 8th graders taking Algebra I are proficient—far exceeding the state average of 54%—only 11.1% of 8th graders in standard math are proficient, a gap of 36 points below the state average. Similarly, 6th-grade math proficiency is just 18.6%, well below the state average of 38.6%. In reading, 8th graders perform well at 67.1% proficient (above the state average of 58.7%), but 7th graders lag at 42.7% (below the state average of 54%). The school’s state ranking is in the 48th percentile (2 stars), a slight decline from the previous year’s 51st percentile.
The key takeaway is that Comfort Middle excels in advanced math and 8th-grade reading, but struggles significantly with standard math instruction across all grades. The low student-teacher ratio and spending of $11,262 per student suggest resources are available, yet the majority of students in standard math classes are not meeting state benchmarks. This inconsistency—strong in advanced tracks but weak in core subjects—indicates a need to focus on improving math curriculum and instruction for the broader student body to ensure all students benefit from the school’s supportive environment.
