Summary

Galena Park Middle in Galena Park, TX, serves 896 students in grades 6-8 within the Galena Park Independent School District (Isd), and has shown a strong upward trajectory over the past decade, now earning a consistent 3-star rating and ranking in the 61st percentile statewide.

The school’s standout strength is its exceptional performance in advanced mathematics, with Algebra I End-of-Course exam proficiency rates near 100% for four consecutive years—far exceeding district and state averages. This success extends to key student groups: Hispanic students rank in the 73rd percentile, English Language Learners in the 71st percentile, and low socio-economic status students in the 76th percentile, all earning 4-star ratings. Special education students have also seen remarkable improvement, jumping to the 77th percentile. However, a persistent challenge is the "7th grade math slump," with only about 24% of 7th graders proficient in math, though effective interventions appear to boost their performance in 8th grade and Algebra I. Social studies remains a consistent area for improvement, with proficiency rates hovering below state averages.

Compared to nearby schools, Galena Park Middle stands out as a relative anchor of academic stability. While Woodland Acres Middle in the same district outperforms it in most 6th and 8th-grade subjects, Galena Park still surpasses many neighboring schools from other districts, such as Holland Middle (23rd percentile), Deady Middle (38th percentile), and Jackson Intermediate (25th percentile). The school also maintains a consistently low dropout rate of 0.8%, well below the district average, demonstrating its effectiveness in keeping students engaged through the school year.
