Summary
Jones Middle is a public middle school located in Humble, Texas, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 1,206 students. It is part of the Aldine Independent School District, which is ranked 740 out of 961 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Unfortunately, Jones Middle has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas middle schools over the past 5 years, with a ranking between 1870 and 2060 out of around 2,300 schools.
The school faces significant challenges, including low test scores, high dropout rates, and a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, around 87% in recent years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. For example, in 2024-2025, only 40.4% of 6th graders were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 54.21% statewide. In Math, the proficiency rate was just 24.3% for 6th graders, compared to 37.68% statewide. Additionally, Jones Middle has had relatively high dropout rates in recent years, ranging from 3.2% to 4.5%, which are higher than the state and district averages.
When comparing Jones Middle to other nearby middle schools, such as Teague Middle, which is in the same district, it consistently underperforms, with higher test scores and lower dropout rates. Jones Middle's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students, who rank in the bottom quarter or third of Texas middle schools. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive approach, including targeted interventions, increased resources, and a focus on improving teaching and learning.
