Summary

Deady Middle in Houston, TX, is a public school serving 413 students in grades 6-8 within the Houston Independent School District (Isd), and it serves a highly economically disadvantaged community where over 98% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Deady Middle is in the midst of a remarkable turnaround. After years of ranking in the bottom 10-15% of Texas middle schools, the school has seen a dramatic improvement, jumping from the 10th percentile to the 38th percentile in just one year. This upward trend is the most significant among its immediate peers, including Navarro Middle and Hartman Middle. The school is particularly effective at serving students with special needs and English Language Learners, ranking in the 61st and 68th percentiles statewide for these groups, respectively. This is a standout strength, showing that the school is achieving strong results for all its students.

One of the most interesting findings is Deady Middle's exceptional performance in advanced math. In Algebra I, 80% of test-takers were proficient, far exceeding the district and state averages. The school also shows a unique pattern where 8th-grade math proficiency (58.33%) is much higher than 6th-grade math proficiency (28.87%), a trend not seen at nearby schools like Ortiz Middle or Edison Middle. However, the school struggles with 7th-grade math, a challenge shared by many schools in the area. While the nearby Early College Stem Academy outperforms Deady in 8th-grade science, Deady's strong upward trajectory and focus on equity make it a compelling choice for families seeking a school that is clearly on the rise.
