Summary:
In zip code 78380, there is one middle school, Seale J H, serving grades 6 through 8 in Robstown, Texas, as part of the Robstown Independent School District (Isd).
Seale J H is a school facing significant academic challenges, with a high rate of economic disadvantage (88.93% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch). The school consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Texas middle schools, currently sitting at the 6th percentile statewide. Proficiency rates in core subjects are well below state averages: Reading scores range from 26.63% to 36.31% (state average ~55%), Math scores range from 0.83% to 22.65% (state average ~38%), and 8th-grade Social Studies is at just 5.52% (state average 31.69%). The school spends $10,527 per student and has a student-teacher ratio of 14.3:1, yet outcomes remain very low, suggesting challenges beyond funding. A notable anomaly is the Algebra I End-of-Course exam, where 94.74% of test-takers were proficient, dramatically higher than the state average of 54.03%. This likely reflects a small, advanced group of students rather than overall math proficiency.
Despite the low test scores, the school reports a 0.0% dropout rate, indicating students are staying in school. However, the ranking history shows no improvement trend, dropping from the 10th percentile to the 6th percentile over three years. For parents, this data suggests that while Seale J H keeps students enrolled, it struggles to provide grade-level education in core subjects, with the standout Algebra I score being an outlier that does not reflect the broader academic reality.
