Summary:
There is one middle school in the A+ Unlimited Potential district: A+ Unlimited Potential - University, located in Houston, TX (77004), serving grades 6 through 8 with a total enrollment of 156 students.
This school faces significant academic challenges, particularly in mathematics, where proficiency rates are critically low across all grades—ranging from just 5.26% in 8th grade to 14.58% in 7th grade in the 2024-2025 school year. In contrast, reading performance shows a stark "two-speed" pattern: 8th graders achieved a standout 72.73% proficiency rate in reading, far exceeding the state average of 56.39%, while 6th and 7th grade reading scores were much lower. The school also has a very high student-to-teacher ratio of 30.1:1, which likely limits individualized instruction, and 77.56% of students are economically disadvantaged. Despite spending $12,513 per student, the school has consistently ranked in the 31st-34th percentile statewide over the last three years, earning a 2-star rating, while the district itself ranks in the 29th percentile (1-star).
Year-over-year performance is highly volatile, likely due to the small student population—for example, 6th grade reading dropped from 48.98% to 25.81% between school years, while 7th grade reading jumped from 26.53% to 45.28%. The 8th grade reading anomaly in 2024-2025 is a bright spot worth investigating for replication, but math and science scores remain far below state averages, with 8th grade science at 32.56% (state: 46.25%) and social studies at 27.91% (state: 29.64%). Parents should be aware that while the school has pockets of success, the combination of large class sizes, low math proficiency, and systemic district challenges suggests a need for targeted support, especially in mathematics and for younger grades.
