Summary

North East Stem Academy is a small middle school in Houston, TX, serving 133 students in grades 6-8 within the Raul Yzaguirre Schools For Success district, where nearly all students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. This school stands out for its remarkable turnaround, climbing from the 16th percentile statewide in 2023-2024 to the 43rd percentile in 2025-2026, a 27-percentile-point jump that far outpaces nearby schools like Henry Middle (12th percentile) and Hambrick Middle (17th percentile), which remain stuck in the bottom quartile.

The school's most impressive strength is its exceptional support for Special Education students, ranking in the 86th percentile statewide—a dramatic improvement from just the 2nd percentile two years ago. This is a standout achievement compared to any nearby school. North East Stem Academy also shows broad-based improvement across other student groups: male students jumped from the 5th to the 64th percentile, Hispanic students rose to the 62nd percentile, and low-income students climbed to the 69th percentile. Additionally, 60.71% of its 8th graders were proficient in Algebra I, exceeding the state average of 54.03%, showing the school successfully accelerates students into advanced math.

Despite its "STEM" name, the school's core academic performance is mixed: 6th-grade reading scores (53.06% proficient) match the state average, but 8th-grade math (36.51%) and social studies (24.49%) lag behind. The school also has a higher student-teacher ratio (19:1) than nearby schools like Aldine Middle (13.5:1), yet it still achieves strong improvement. One area needing attention is female students, who rank only in the 20th percentile. Compared to Henry Middle, just 1.8 miles away and serving a similar population, North East Stem Academy achieves far better outcomes, including a 0.0% dropout rate versus Henry's 3.2%.
