Summary

Drew Academy is a middle school in the Aldine Independent School District (Isd) serving 363 students in grades 7 and 8, located in a predominantly low-income area of Houston, TX, where over 85% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Drew Academy is in the midst of a remarkable turnaround, jumping from the 7th percentile statewide in 2022-2023 to the 39th percentile in 2025-2026—its highest ranking in nearly a decade. The school's standout strength is its Algebra I program, where 91.67% of students taking the End-of-Course exam were proficient, nearly double the state average and outperforming nearby schools like Black Middle (85.27%) and Klein Intermediate (86.21%). This success is broad-based, with Hispanic students ranking in the 67th percentile and low-income students in the 55th percentile statewide. The school also benefits from a low student-teacher ratio of 9.1 to 1, much smaller than nearby schools like KIPP Nexus Middle (18.4) or Clifton Middle (13.1), allowing for more individualized attention.

However, Drew Academy presents a mixed picture. While its Algebra I scores are elite, only 3.23% of 7th graders were proficient in grade-level math, compared to the state average of 29.41%, suggesting the school excels at accelerating some students into advanced coursework while many others struggle. Compared to nearby Williams Middle (Houston ISD), which serves a similarly high-poverty population, Drew Academy outperforms in 7th-grade Reading (45.45% vs. 40.82%) and 8th-grade Reading (61.9% vs. 44.44%), though Williams Middle achieved a perfect 100% in Algebra I. A persistent challenge is Special Education, where students rank in the bottom 10% statewide, indicating a clear area for targeted support.
