Summary

Woodland Acres Middle in Houston, TX, is a 6th-8th grade campus in the Galena Park Independent School District (Isd) serving 570 students in a high-poverty area, where about 87-88% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, and it has achieved a remarkable turnaround from a 2-star rating to a 4-star rating, ranking in the 76th percentile statewide for the 2025-2026 school year.

The most impressive differentiator is Woodland Acres' exceptional Algebra I performance, with 98.18% of students proficient on the End-of-Course exam—nearly double the district average of 65.13% and far exceeding the state average of 54.03%. This is a massive outlier compared to nearby schools like Holland Middle and De Zavala Middle, which struggle significantly. The school also excels in 6th grade math, with proficiency rates climbing to 58.24% in 2025-2026, well above the district (46.86%) and state (38.57%) averages. Notably, Woodland Acres outperforms its district peer Cobb 6th Grade Campus in both 6th grade reading (71.18% vs. 54.7%) and math (58.24% vs. 46.14%), despite serving a similar student population. The school also maintains a low dropout rate of 0.5%, compared to the district average of 2.4% and Holland Middle's 4.2%.

While Woodland Acres shines in many areas, 7th grade math is a shared challenge, with only 25% of students proficient—a common issue across the region, as every nearby middle school scores below 36% in this subject. However, the school's consistent upward trajectory since 2020-2021 suggests deliberate, systemic changes are yielding sustained results, making it a standout performer in the Houston area and a model of success for high-poverty schools.
