Summary:
The six schools serving zip code 78102 in Beeville, Texas, are part of the Beeville Independent School District (Isd) and the St Mary's Academy Charter School district, serving grades Pre-K through 12 in a high-poverty community where over 83% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.
The standout school in this area is St Mary's Academy Charter School, which consistently outperforms the traditional public schools despite serving a similarly high-poverty population. Its charter district ranks in the 46th percentile in Texas, far above the Beeville ISD's 19th percentile. In recent years, St. Mary's 4th-grade Reading (69.23%) and 5th-grade Reading (77.5%) scores have far exceeded state averages. Among the traditional public schools, Moreno J H stands out for its exceptional Algebra I program, with 8th-grade students achieving a remarkable 96.15% proficiency rate in 2025-2026, compared to the state average of 54.03%. However, this contrasts sharply with its 7th-grade math proficiency of just 3.59%, suggesting a strong focus on advanced students while many others struggle. A C Jones High School maintains a strong 95.5% graduation rate despite low STAAR test scores, indicating effective support for keeping students enrolled.
Key takeaways include the charter school advantage, with St. Mary's spending the most per student ($12,716) and achieving the best results, while Fadden-McKeown-Chambliss Elementary spends the least ($9,585) with mixed outcomes. The two main elementary schools show inconsistent performance across subjects, with R A Hall Elementary excelling in 5th-grade Science (34.09%) but lagging in 4th-grade Math (45.56%). Overall, while most schools face significant academic challenges, the data reveals pockets of excellence, particularly in advanced math at Moreno J H and reading at St. Mary's Academy.
