Harmony Public Schools - Houston North

The Harmony Public Schools - Houston North district is a network of 10 charter schools serving approximately 7,571 students across elementary, middle, and high school grades in the Houston area, with a district ranking in the 70th percentile statewide and a 3-star rating.

The district's standout school is Harmony School Of Discovery - Houston, a 5-star high school ranked in the 92nd percentile with a 98.7% graduation rate and 0% dropout rate, consistently outperforming both district and state averages by wide margins. Another top performer is Harmony School Of Achievement - Houston, a 4-star elementary school that has maintained high ratings for three consecutive years, achieving exceptional math scores despite a 70.89% economically disadvantaged population. The most improved school is Harmony School Of Excellence - Katy, which jumped from the 68th to the 89th percentile in just two years, with reading and math proficiency rates often exceeding 70%. In contrast, Harmony School Of Endeavor-Houston is a critical concern, receiving a 0-star rating for three consecutive years with proficiency rates in the teens and twenties, facing the highest economic disadvantage rate in the network at 90.2%.

Key metrics reveal a network-wide average student-teacher ratio of 16.2:1 and spending per student averaging $9,729, though higher spending does not guarantee success—the lowest-performing schools, Harmony Science Academy - Bryan and Harmony School of Endeavor-Houston, have the highest per-student spending. A notable pattern is the "Algebra I effect" in middle schools like Harmony School Of Technology-Houston, where general math scores are low but advanced Algebra I scores are near-perfect, indicating only top students are accelerated. Science is a network-wide weakness, with 5th-grade proficiency below 50% at every elementary school. The two high schools show a stark contrast: Harmony School of Discovery is a 5-star powerhouse, while Harmony School Of Advancement-Houston is a 4-star school that often underperforms district averages, such as scoring 51.97% in Algebra I compared to Discovery's 90.91%.
