Summary

Northbrook High School is a public high school in Houston, Texas, serving 2,598 students in grades 9-12. It is part of the Spring Branch Independent School District (SBISD), which is ranked 335 out of 961 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Northbrook High School consistently ranks in the bottom 20% of Texas high schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its academic performance, as measured by STAAR EOC test scores, is significantly lower than the district and state averages across all subject areas. The school also has a lower 4-year graduation rate of around 87% and a higher dropout rate ranging from 2.3% to 7.8% over the past few years. Northbrook High School has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 84.67% to 90.61% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

In comparison, nearby schools within the SBISD district, such as Stratford High School and Memorial High School, consistently rank in the top 25% of Texas high schools and have much higher STAAR EOC test scores, graduation rates, and lower dropout rates. While Northbrook High School's per-student spending has increased over the past few years, this increased funding does not seem to have translated into significant improvements in academic outcomes, suggesting the need for a comprehensive, data-driven approach to improve teaching and learning at the school.
