Summary

Deepwater J H is a middle school in Pasadena, TX, serving 639 students in grades 6-8 as part of the Deer Park Independent School District (Isd), and it stands out for its exceptional Algebra I program and strong support for students from low-income backgrounds, with over 81% qualifying for free or reduced lunch.

The school’s most impressive feature is its Algebra I performance, where proficiency rates have consistently exceeded 92% over the last four years, far surpassing the district average of 63.1% and the state average of 54%. This is a major differentiator from nearby schools like Deer Park J H, which also performs well in Algebra I but serves a much lower-poverty population. However, this strength masks struggles in grade-level math—only 25% of 6th graders were proficient in 2025-2026, compared to the district’s 44.59%. The school also boasts a low student-to-teacher ratio of 11.9:1, allowing for more individualized attention, and spends $12,866 per student, higher than most peers. When compared to nearby Pasadena Independent School District (Isd) schools like Park View Intermediate or Southmore Intermediate, Deepwater J H consistently outperforms them in reading and math by 10-20 percentage points, despite serving a similar high-poverty community.

While the school’s overall state ranking has declined from a peak of 70th percentile in 2021-2022 to 50th percentile in 2025-2026, it excels in supporting specific groups. It ranks in the 76th percentile for Special Education students and the 66th percentile for Low Socio-Economic Status students, indicating effective programs for closing achievement gaps. This is a stark contrast to its district peer Deer Park J H, which ranks in the 80th+ percentile but has a much lower poverty rate. For parents, Deepwater J H offers a unique blend of advanced math opportunities and targeted support for vulnerable students, making it a strong choice within the Deer Park ISD system, especially compared to Pasadena ISD alternatives.
