Summary

Brookside Intermediate in Friendswood, TX, is a mid-sized school serving 805 students in grades 6-8 as part of the highly-rated Clear Creek Independent School District (Isd). This school is a solid, above-average performer that has been on a clear upward trajectory, improving its statewide rank from the 53rd percentile to the 73rd percentile over the past decade.

Brookside’s most striking feature is its exceptional performance in advanced coursework. Students taking Algebra I and Biology End-of-Course exams achieve near-perfect scores, with a 97% proficiency rate in Algebra I and a perfect 100% in Biology—matching elite nearby schools like League City Intermediate and Westbrook Intermediate. However, the school faces a notable challenge in standard grade-level math, where proficiency rates lag behind the district average by 10-12 percentage points in every grade. This creates a "two schools" dynamic: top-tier students are exceptionally well-served, while the general student body may need more support in core math concepts. The school also shows strong support for specific student groups, with Special Education students ranking in the 76th percentile and Hispanic students in the 74th percentile, both showing significant recent improvement.

Brookside operates in a competitive environment, often overshadowed by nearby elite institutions. Just 2.19 miles away, Friendswood J H (part of the Friendswood Independent School District (Isd)) is a 5-star school with significantly higher test scores, highlighting how district boundaries can impact a school’s profile. Within its own district, Brookside sits in a middle tier alongside Creekside Intermediate and Victory Lakes Intermediate, while outperforming Clear Creek Intermediate and Clear Lake Intermediate. Overall, Brookside is a good school that is actively improving, with a clear strength in advanced academics and a targeted focus needed on standard math instruction.
