Summary:
The four public schools in zip code 78362, all part of the Ingleside Independent School District (Isd), serve 2,071 students across elementary, middle, and high school grades in the Ingleside, TX area, with the district holding a solid 3-star rating and ranking in the 66th percentile among Texas districts.
The standout school in the district is Leon Taylor Middle, which earned a 4-star rating and excels in advanced mathematics, with 100% of its 8th graders scoring proficient in Algebra I—a full 46 percentage points above the state average. In contrast, Gilbert J Mircovich Elementary is the weakest performer, dropping to a 2-star rating and struggling particularly in 5th grade science, where only 20.12% of students are proficient. Ingleside High School maintains a strong 96.2% graduation rate and performs well in Biology (79.49% proficient), but lags in English and U.S. History. Ingleside Pri serves the youngest students with a 73.39% free/reduced lunch rate, the highest in the district.
A key takeaway is the academic divide between elementary and middle school levels: while Mircovich Elementary sees low proficiency in 5th grade math (33.59%) and reading (47.2%), Leon Taylor Middle School shows strong 8th grade math scores (70.18% proficient) and social studies (41.73% proficient), suggesting a significant growth spurt or more effective instruction at the middle school level. The district's average student-teacher ratio of 15.1:1 and spending of about $10,600 per student are typical for Texas, but the high school's mixed performance—excelling in STEM while struggling in literacy and history—highlights areas for targeted improvement. Overall, families should consider the strong middle school math pipeline and high graduation rate, but note the challenges at the elementary level and in certain high school subjects.
