Summary

Lewis Middle in Houston, TX, is a large public school serving 1,054 students in grades 6-8 within the Aldine Independent School District (Isd), a district that ranks in the bottom third of Texas. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 5-10% of all Texas middle schools for the past five years, with test scores in Reading, Math, Science, and Social Studies falling well below both district and state averages. A particularly critical area is mathematics, where only 7.46% of 7th graders were proficient in Math in the 2025-2026 school year, compared to 29.41% statewide, a trend that has persisted for several years.

Despite these challenges, there are notable bright spots. A small group of students taking the Algebra I End-of-Course exam achieved an 81.08% proficiency rate, dramatically higher than the district (46.01%) and state (54.03%) averages, suggesting that advanced-track students are exceptionally well-prepared. Additionally, the school's Gifted and Talented students perform only slightly below the state median, indicating a potential concentration of resources on higher-performing students. However, the school also faces a high dropout rate of 3.0% for the 2023-2024 school year, which is above the Aldine ISD average and significantly higher than nearby high-performing schools like Young Womens Leadership Academy (0.0%).

Comparing Lewis Middle to nearby schools reveals stark contrasts. Young Womens Leadership Academy, located just 1.18 miles away in the same district, is a 5-star, 97th-percentile school, while Lewis Middle is a 0-star, 5th-percentile school, highlighting that school-level factors like leadership and culture can drive vastly different outcomes. Similarly, Strack Intermediate in the Klein Independent School District (Isd), just 4.6 miles away, has proficiency rates roughly double those of Lewis Middle in most subjects. For parents, this data underscores that while Lewis Middle struggles broadly, its advanced programs show promise, and nearby schools offer dramatically different academic environments.
