Summary

Ripley House Middle Campus is a small public charter school in Houston, TX, serving 164 students in grades 6-8 as part of the Bakerripley Community Schools district, where 91.5% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school is in the midst of a remarkable turnaround, jumping from the 11th percentile statewide in 2023-2024 to the 44th percentile in 2025-2026—its highest rank in over a decade. This dramatic improvement sets it apart from nearby schools like McReynolds Middle (25th percentile) and KIPP Intrepid Preparatory (43rd percentile), which have remained relatively stagnant. While it still trails elite magnet schools like Project Chrysalis Middle (97th percentile) and Baylor College of Medicine Academy at Ryan (84th percentile), Ripley House is now outperforming several traditional neighborhood schools and closing the gap with its charter peers.

A standout strength is the school's exceptional performance in Algebra I, with 80% of students proficient in 2025-2026—far exceeding the state average of 54% and outperforming KIPP Intrepid (57%). The school also excels in supporting students from low-income backgrounds, ranking in the 64th percentile for serving low socioeconomic status students, a remarkable jump from the 12th percentile just two years prior. However, performance varies by subject: 6th and 7th-grade math proficiency now exceeds state averages, but 8th-grade math (24.1%) lags significantly behind the state (47.2%), and reading proficiency across all grades (36-51%) still trails state averages (53-59%). A very low student-teacher ratio of 15:1 provides a more personalized learning environment than many nearby schools, such as KIPP Intrepid (22.6:1) and A+ Unlimited Potential - University (30.1:1).

Despite serving a high-risk population, Ripley House has maintained a 0.0% dropout rate for five consecutive years, a critical indicator of student engagement compared to nearby schools like McReynolds (3.5%) and Edison Middle (2.9%). The school spends $15,804 per student, higher than most nearby traditional public schools but far less than specialized programs like Secondary Daep ($644,162 per student). This suggests that Ripley House's recent success is driven more by instructional strategy and school culture than by spending alone. For families seeking a neighborhood school that is actively improving and showing strong results in math and student retention, Ripley House is becoming a more viable option in the Houston area.

What people are saying

by a parent
Thursday, October 31, 2019

This school is terrible. Upon enrolling my sister, they stressed to us that they don’t tolerate behavior problems, but it didn’t take long for her to start having issues with people trying to bully her. Boys were hitting her, people were taking her food, and a group of girls were even trying to fight her. They also stressed to follow the protocol of telling the teachers instead of taking matters into her own hands. She did that, several times, her parents even had a meeting with the principal, and from the result of things, nothing ever happened because these students kept trying to pick on her. The principal tried to say that the school was for disruptive kids who had behavior problems and that they couldn’t get on students all day everyday and that’s understandable but that’s no excuse for you to continue to let these things happen. For a school that doesn’t tolerate behavior issues they sure had us fooled. A guy was putting his hands on her and he should’ve gotten suspended but didn’t but she got called out for saying she would bring her brother up there to handle him. That doesn’t make sense to me. He physically put his hands on her and all she did was say words to him to defend herself and she still got in trouble. And after they did whatever “punishment” they did for him, he still came back and did the same thing to her for a little while. After a while, even the teachers she told started to not take it seriously. Making sarcastic comments to her as if they’re tired of her telling them things even though she’s trying to follow the rules. Even the one teacher who seemed the most concerned turned on her and didn’t seem to care anymore. So of course if you’re doing what you’re supposed to do and nothing ever happens, you’re going to eventually start standing up for yourself. And surprisingly, she was getting in trouble. For standing up for herself, and doing what the teachers and principal claimed they were going to do. So basically, she couldn’t do anything for herself because they kept saying she can’t say this and can’t say that yet these student were getting away with racist comments and other things they said to her, and nobody else was doing anything and didn’t seem to care too much. So she was forced to deal with it. And that’s absolutely sad. You talk about protocol and then barely even follow it yourselves. I wouldn’t recommend this school to anyone. You guys really need to get yourselves together. Close Quote
