Summary

Mayde Creek J H is a large middle school in Houston, TX, serving 1,214 students in grades 6-8 as part of the highly-regarded Katy Independent School District (Isd), with over 76% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch.

This school has experienced a significant decline over the past five years, dropping from a consistent 4-star rating to a 2-star rating, while nearby Katy ISD schools like Memorial Parkway J H and Stockdick J H remain high-performing. The primary challenge is in mathematics, where only about 13% of 7th graders and 22% of 6th graders are proficient—far below the district average. However, the school excels at accelerating its top students, with 77.5% of Algebra I test-takers scoring proficient, matching the district average and far exceeding the state. This creates a "tale of two subjects" where advanced learners thrive while the majority struggle with foundational math skills.

Interestingly, the school serves its Gifted and Talented students exceptionally well, ranking in the 71st percentile statewide, but male and Hispanic students have seen sharp declines in performance over recent years. When compared to nearby Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District (Isd) schools like Kahla Middle and Watkins Middle, Mayde Creek still performs better overall in reading, but the more relevant comparison is to its Katy ISD peers, where it now lags behind. The nearby charter Calvin Nelms Middle achieves higher test scores with a much smaller enrollment, suggesting school size may be a factor. Mayde Creek is at a critical juncture, needing to address its math instruction gap to reverse its downward trend.
