Summary

Northbrook Middle is a public middle school in Houston, Texas, serving 842 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Spring Branch Independent School District (SBISD), which is ranked 335 out of 961 districts in the state.

Northbrook Middle consistently underperforms compared to the district and state averages on STAAR tests, with only 24.56% to 25.76% of students proficient or better in reading, compared to 58.61% to 60.1% for SBISD and 51.69% to 56.39% for Texas. The school's dropout rates are also higher than the district and state. Northbrook Middle serves a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 92.66% to 94.77% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite spending significantly more per student ($13,430 in 2020-2021) than the district and state averages, the school's academic performance remains a concern.

Interestingly, nearby schools within the same district, such as Memorial Middle and Cornerstone Academy, consistently rank among the top 5-10% of Texas middle schools and outperform Northbrook Middle in academic metrics. Similarly, the public charter school KIPP Nexus Middle, which serves a similar economically disadvantaged student population, outperforms Northbrook Middle in most areas. Addressing the disparities in educational outcomes at Northbrook Middle should be a priority for the school district and community.
