Summary

Aragon Middle in Houston, TX, is a large middle school serving 1,424 students in grades 6-8 within the Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District (Isd), and it stands out as a solid, middle-performing school that consistently delivers above-average results for a diverse student body, with over half of its students qualifying for free or reduced lunch.

Aragon’s biggest academic strength is its exceptional Algebra I program, where an impressive 97% of students scored proficient or above on the End-of-Course exam—a rate that rivals top-tier schools like Spillane Middle and Smith Middle. This suggests a highly effective advanced math track that prepares students exceptionally well. However, the school shows a notable "8th-grade math dip," with standard math proficiency (36%) falling below the state average (47%), likely because the strongest math students are taking Algebra I. Overall, Aragon outperforms its nearest neighbor, Labay Middle, in nearly every subject, reinforcing its role as a strong educational option in the community. While its state ranking has gradually declined from the 90th to the 77th percentile over recent years, its test scores have remained stable, indicating that other schools are improving faster rather than a drop in Aragon’s own performance.

For parents, Aragon offers a reliable academic foundation with a proven ability to support students from lower socioeconomic backgrounds, as evidenced by strong historical rankings for "At Risk" and "Low Socio-Economic Status" students. The school’s performance for English Language Learners has also shown improvement. However, the Gifted and Talented program has seen a decline, dropping from a 5-star to a 3-star ranking, which may be a consideration for families with advanced learners. Overall, Aragon is a dependable choice that balances strong advanced math offerings with consistent core subject results, making it a solid middle ground between higher-performing schools like Anthony Middle and lower-performing ones like Watkins Middle.

The teachers are amazing, knowledgeable and caring. My Six greater attends Aragon and it has been a wonderfully surprising experience to see how much the staff and teachers truly care about their students and go the extra mile. Close Quote
