Summary

Mayde Creek High School in Houston, TX, is a large public high school serving 3,036 students in grades 9-12 as part of the highly-regarded Katy Independent School District (Isd), though it has experienced a significant decline in state ranking over the past decade, dropping from a 4-star rating to a 3-star rating near the median (52nd percentile). The school serves a predominantly low-income student body, with over 76% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, a figure notably higher than the district average and most immediate peers.

The most striking differentiator is the performance gap between Mayde Creek and its fellow Katy ISD schools, particularly Taylor High School (2.99 miles away), which consistently ranks in the 89th-90th percentile. Taylor outperforms Mayde Creek by roughly 20-30 percentage points on every STAAR EOC exam, such as English II Reading where Taylor achieved 77.64% proficiency compared to Mayde Creek's 50.25%. Mayde Creek's graduation rate of 87.1% is the lowest among comparable nearby schools, while its dropout rate of 1.0% is the highest among its Katy ISD peers and triple the district average. Nearby charter schools like Harmony School Of Discovery - Houston serve similar percentages of low-income students but achieve dramatically better results, including a 98.7% graduation rate and a 92nd percentile ranking.

Despite overall struggles, Mayde Creek shows remarkable strength in serving its Gifted and Talented (GT) student population, who ranked in the 88th percentile statewide and earned a 4-star rating. The school also performs relatively well for its African American and Special Education students, both ranking in the 60th-70th percentiles. Additionally, Mayde Creek consistently performs at or above the state average in U.S. History, scoring 70.47% proficiency in 2025-2026, slightly above the state's 70.17%. This suggests that effective instructional strategies exist in specific programs and departments that could potentially be replicated across the school to address the sustained downward trend observed since the COVID-19 pandemic.
