Summary:
In zip code 78336, there is one middle school, A C Blunt Middle, serving grades 6 through 8 in Aransas Pass, Texas, as part of the Aransas Pass Independent School District (Isd).
A C Blunt Middle serves 382 students and has a student-teacher ratio of 15.9:1, with spending per student at $10,274. The school faces significant challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom 20% of Texas middle schools (16th-17th percentile) over the last three years. Academic proficiency rates in core subjects like Reading (40.2% vs. state 55.4%), Math (19.7% vs. state 38.4%), and 8th-grade Social Studies (12.15% vs. state 31.69%) are well below state averages. A high percentage of students (70.16%) are economically disadvantaged. On a positive note, the school reports a 0.0% dropout rate, indicating strong student retention.
The most notable finding is the school's exceptional performance in Algebra I, where 75% of students taking the End-of-Course exam are proficient, far exceeding both the district (52.85%) and state (54.03%) averages. This suggests a highly effective advanced math program, even as the school struggles with grade-level math proficiency (14-24% in 6th-8th grades). Despite high spending and a low student-teacher ratio, the school's state ranking has remained stagnant over three years, indicating that current resources are not closing the achievement gap. For parents, this school offers a strong advanced math track and keeps students enrolled, but overall academic performance is a significant concern that requires targeted support.
