Summary:
Zip code 78344, located in Bruni, Texas, is home to a single middle school, Bruni Middle, which serves 51 students in grades 6 through 8 within the Webb Consolidated Independent School District.
Bruni Middle has shown a dramatic turnaround, jumping from the 12th percentile statewide in the 2024-2025 school year to the 39th percentile in 2025-2026, earning a 2-star rating. This improvement was driven by a remarkable surge in mathematics, where 6th-grade proficiency soared from 0% to 60% and 7th-grade proficiency reached 57.14%, both well above state averages. The school also boasts a 0% dropout rate and a low student-to-teacher ratio of 12.7:1, with a high spending per student of $23,973. However, performance is uneven: while math excels, reading proficiency remains a persistent challenge, with all grades scoring below 41% and well under state averages. Social studies is a particular weakness, with only 10.53% of 8th graders proficient, compared to the state average of 31.69%.
For parents, Bruni Middle offers a small, close-knit environment with strong math instruction and a clear trajectory of improvement. The school’s high spending and low class sizes are positive indicators, but the significant gaps between math and other subjects—especially reading and social studies—suggest that resources may be unevenly focused. The dramatic year-over-year gains in math point to effective interventions, but the persistent low reading scores highlight an area needing urgent attention. Overall, this is a school on the rise, but with clear academic challenges that parents should monitor closely.
