Summary

Hartman Middle is a public magnet middle school in Houston, Texas, serving 766 students in grades 6-8. While part of the Houston Independent School District (HISD), which is ranked 505 out of 961 districts in Texas, Hartman Middle has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Texas middle schools over the past 10 years, currently at 1398 out of 2344.

Hartman Middle faces significant challenges, including consistently underperforming on standardized tests compared to HISD and Texas state averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 40.28% of 8th-grade students were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 52.66% for HISD and 56.39% for Texas. The school also has relatively high dropout rates, ranging from 1.5% to 4.1% in recent years, higher than district and state averages. Interestingly, Hartman Middle's performance varies across different student subgroups, ranking 627 out of 1271 Texas middle schools for African American students, but only 1049 out of 2108 for Hispanic students.

While Hartman Middle is a magnet school, it does not appear to be outperforming its non-magnet counterparts in the area, such as Deady Middle, Thomas Middle, and Ortiz Middle, all of which are part of the HISD district. This raises questions about the effectiveness of the magnet program and whether it is truly providing a high-quality educational experience for its students.
