Better than 21% of Texas high schools

Summary

Aldine High School in Houston, TX, is a large comprehensive high school serving 2,481 students in grades 9-12 within the Aldine Independent School District (Isd), where nearly 90% of students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Texas high schools over the past decade, earning a 1-star rating, with proficiency rates on state assessments (STAAR EOC) well below both district and state averages across all core subjects.

The most striking finding is the extreme performance gap between Aldine High School and several nearby specialty schools within the same district. While Aldine ranks in the 21st percentile statewide, Blanson Cte High School (96th percentile) and Avalos P-Technical School (90th percentile) rank in the top 10% of all Texas high schools. For example, in Algebra I, only 27.7% of Aldine students are proficient compared to 99.2% at Blanson CTE and 76.3% at Avalos P-TECH. Aldine's graduation rate of 83% (2023-2024) is significantly lower than Blanson CTE's near-perfect 99.7% rate. When compared to its most similar peer, Davis H S Aldine, Aldine performs nearly identically, suggesting the challenges are systemic to the district's large, non-specialized high schools.

Despite these struggles, there are notable bright spots. Aldine's Gifted and Talented (GT) program is highly effective, ranking in the 58th percentile statewide and earning a 3-star rating—a massive outlier compared to the school's overall performance. Additionally, the school's English Language Learner (ELL) students have shown significant improvement, jumping from the 20th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 42nd percentile in 2025-2026. However, the school's White student population has experienced a sharp decline, dropping to the 1st percentile statewide. For parents considering options, the district's specialty schools and nearby charter networks like Yes Prep Public Schools Inc and Harmony Public Schools - Houston North offer dramatically different outcomes, though they may have selective admissions.
