Summary

Albright Middle in Houston, TX, serves 945 students in grades 7 and 8 within the Alief Independent School District (Isd), a community where over 82% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Albright stands out as a relative bright spot in its district, particularly for its exceptional advanced math program. In the 2025-2026 school year, an impressive 95.37% of Albright students taking the Algebra I End-of-Course exam were proficient, dramatically outperforming the district average of 43.68% and even surpassing nearby charter schools like KIPP Academy West (61.7%). However, this strength contrasts sharply with grade-level math, where only 12.3% of 7th graders were proficient—well below the state average. In reading, Albright is a leader within its district, with 49.02% of 7th graders proficient compared to just 36.51% district-wide, and significantly higher than nearby Killough Middle (37.69%) and O'Donnell Middle (32.33%). Overall, Albright ranks in the 43rd percentile statewide, making it the highest-ranked traditional public middle school in the Alief ISD, ahead of Alief Middle (26th percentile) and Killough Middle (23rd percentile).

Albright also shows notable effectiveness for specific student groups, including strong performance for Special Education students (66th percentile) and English Language Learners (55th percentile) in recent years. The school’s dropout rate of 1.4% is lower than the district average of 3.2% and its peer O'Donnell Middle (3.1%), indicating better student retention. While the school’s overall ranking has declined from a peak of the 73rd percentile in 2018-2019, it remains a "diamond in the rough" within a district ranked in the bottom 26% statewide. For parents, Albright offers a unique mix: world-class Algebra I acceleration and stronger reading than district peers, but with significant challenges in standard math that families should investigate further.
