Summary

Deer Park J H is a middle school in Deer Park, TX, serving 877 students in grades 6-8 as part of the Deer Park Independent School District (Isd), a district ranked in the top 31% of Texas.

This school stands out for its exceptional advanced math program, with 100% of Algebra I test-takers proficient—far exceeding the district and state averages. It also serves its Hispanic and low-income students exceptionally well, ranking in the 89th and 88th percentiles statewide, respectively. However, a notable concern is a recent dip in 6th-grade math proficiency, which dropped to 26.46% in 2025-2026, well below the district average of 44.59%. This is a stark contrast to the school's otherwise strong math performance in 7th and 8th grades and its stellar Algebra I results, suggesting a potential transition issue for incoming 6th graders. The school has a consistent 4-star rating from Schooldigger and a low dropout rate of 0.0%.

Compared to nearby schools, Deer Park J H is a clear academic leader. It significantly outperforms Deepwater J H (2.58 miles away), which has a much higher poverty rate and ranks in the 50th percentile. It also outperforms Bonnette J H (1.79 miles away) in all tested subjects, particularly in 8th-grade math (75.67% vs. 61.84%) and Algebra I (100% vs. 94.74%). While Fairmont J H (4.39 miles away) has recently achieved a higher ranking, Deer Park J H has a more consistent long-term track record and serves a larger student body. Addressing the 6th-grade math gap could propel this already strong school to a consistent 5-star rating.
