Summary:
Zip code 78752 in Austin, Texas, is served by a single middle school, Webb Middle, which educates students in grades 6 through 8 as part of the Austin Independent School District (Isd).
Webb Middle has a total enrollment of 502 students and faces significant academic challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom 2nd percentile statewide over the last three school years. Test scores are well below district averages across nearly all subjects and grade levels; for example, only 4.27% of 6th graders were proficient in reading compared to the district average of 55.71%. The school also reports a high dropout rate of 3.9%, more than double the district's 1.9%. A key contextual factor is that 98.01% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.
Despite these challenges, there are some notable points. The school maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 11.6:1 and per-student spending of $13,348, suggesting resources are not the primary issue. A bright spot is performance in Algebra I, where 52.63% of students were proficient in 2024-2025, exceeding both district and state averages. However, overall performance remains volatile, with significant year-over-year fluctuations in subjects like 7th grade math, indicating that outcomes can vary heavily by student cohort.
