Summary

Fairmont J H is a high-performing middle school in Pasadena, TX, serving 676 students in grades 6-8 within the Deer Park Independent School District (Isd), and it stands out as a top-tier option in a region where many nearby schools struggle.

Fairmont J H consistently ranks in the top 10% of Texas middle schools, with a 2025-2026 state rank of 287 out of 2,335 schools (88th percentile). This performance dramatically outpaces its neighbors. For example, in 8th-grade math, 84.25% of Fairmont students were proficient, compared to just 61.84% at Bonnette J H (also in Deer Park ISD) and 47.83% at San Jacinto Intermediate in the Pasadena Independent School District (Isd). The school is particularly exceptional at accelerating students into Algebra I, with 100% of its test-takers passing the Algebra I EOC exam in 2025-2026—a perfect score that far exceeds the district average of 63.1% and the state average of 54.03%. Fairmont also excels at supporting diverse learners, ranking in the 94th percentile for both English Language Learners and Special Education students, and in the 93rd percentile for low-socioeconomic status students, showing it effectively closes achievement gaps.

While Fairmont J H is a powerhouse for most students, there is one area for potential focus: its performance for Gifted and Talented students dropped to the 58th percentile in 2025-2026, a significant decline from the 88th percentile in 2022-2023. This suggests that while the school is excellent at bringing students up to proficiency, it may not be providing enough enrichment for its highest achievers. Overall, Fairmont J H is an academic island of excellence in a region where many schools, such as The Summit (Intermediate) (ranking in the 1st percentile), serve higher-needs populations and achieve far lower results. Its success offers a powerful example of what effective school leadership and resources can accomplish.
