Summary:
The two middle schools in the Sharyland Independent School District (Isd), B L Gray J H and Sharyland North J H, serve grades 7 and 8 with nearly identical enrollments of around 780 students each. The district is ranked in the 75th percentile statewide, indicating strong overall performance, though notable differences exist between the two schools.
B L Gray J H is the standout school, ranking in the 82nd percentile (411 out of 2,335) compared to Sharyland North J H's 70th percentile (702 out of 2,335). This gap is driven by superior reading and science scores: B L Gray's 7th and 8th-grade reading proficiency (74% and 77%) far exceeds Sharyland North's (63% and 59%) and the state average. However, an interesting dynamic emerges in math: while both schools achieve a perfect 100% proficiency on the Algebra I End-of-Course exam—more than doubling the state average of 54%—Sharyland North actually outperforms B L Gray in standard 8th-grade math (71% vs. 62%). This suggests Sharyland North may emphasize standard math proficiency more heavily.
Both schools share a district-wide weakness in 8th-grade Social Studies, with scores (21% at Sharyland North, 29% at B L Gray) falling below the state average of 32%. On a positive note, Sharyland North shows consistent improvement, with its state ranking rising each year and a dramatic jump in 7th-grade reading from 53% to 63% in one year. The district's perfect Algebra I scores are a major strength, indicating an effective accelerated math curriculum. With a lower free/reduced lunch rate (61% vs. 69%), B L Gray holds an advantage in overall performance, but both schools offer strong educational options within the district.
