Judith a Resnik Middle, Von Ormy TX

Original Research by School Decision on Judith a Resnik Middle

Judith A Resnik Middle serves sixth through eighth grade students in Von Ormy, a community in southwest Bexar County. The school enrolls a student body that is predominantly Hispanic, with a substantial majority of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The enrollment is distributed fairly evenly across the three middle grades.

On state testing, Resnik's results show consistent struggle across subjects and grade levels. In mathematics, proficiency rates range from very low in sixth and seventh grade to modest in eighth grade. English language arts results are somewhat stronger across all three grades, with eighth grade showing the highest performance of any grade-subject combination. Science and social studies, tested only in eighth grade, show proficiency rates that are notably lower than English language arts. When aggregated across all tested areas, the school's overall proficiency sits below the midpoint among Bexar County's districts.

A parent may want to look into the school's specific supports for students who are not yet meeting grade-level standards, given that the majority of students score below proficiency in core areas. The data does not indicate whether the school offers targeted intervention programs, tutoring, or other academic support structures, so that would be worth asking about directly.

The school is part of Southwest ISD, which has undergone significant change in recent years. The district approved a substantial bond in 2023 that funds two new elementary schools, safety upgrades across campuses, and renovations. More recently, in late 2025, the district announced the closure of Sky Harbour Elementary and the opening of a new elementary school further into the southwest corridor, along with rezoning of affected families. These shifts reflect enrollment movement on the far southwest side and may indicate the growth or contraction patterns affecting Resnik's own student population and community.

Housing in the Von Ormy zip code is relatively affordable compared to state and national mediums, with typical monthly mortgage payments well below the state benchmark. Rent is also moderate. The area's affordability relative to county options may appeal to families seeking lower housing costs, though a prospective resident should verify current conditions with local agents.

Resnik serves a community where economic resources are concentrated among families receiving free or reduced meals. The school's role is to serve that population in place, and understanding its current academic performance and available supports is essential for any family considering the area or already assigned to the campus.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
