Summary

Hogg Middle in Houston, TX, is a large public middle school serving 1,161 students in grades 6-8 within the Houston Independent School District (Isd), and it has achieved a remarkable turnaround from a 2-star school to a 5-star school, now ranking in the 91st percentile statewide.

This school stands out for its consistent, decade-long improvement and exceptional performance across diverse student groups. Hogg excels particularly for special education students (96th percentile), white students (98th percentile), and multi-racial students (99th percentile), showing strong support for all learners. Its Algebra I program is a standout, with 98.63% of students proficient—far exceeding the district average of 57.63% and the state average of 54.03%. The school also maintains a very low dropout rate of 0.4%, compared to the HISD average of 3.8%. While nearby Lanier Middle ranks higher overall (98th percentile), Hogg is rapidly closing the gap, jumping from the 82nd percentile in 2023-2024 to the 91st percentile in 2025-2026, and it actually outperforms Lanier in Algebra I proficiency and has a lower student-to-teacher ratio (17.5 vs. 20.0).

One interesting note is a dip in 7th-grade math scores (23.66% proficient), which is likely due to advanced students taking Algebra I early, a common pattern in high-performing schools. Compared to other nearby schools like Key Middle (34th percentile) and Marshall Middle (50th percentile), Hogg is a clear standout, achieving high results while serving a diverse student body where about 50% qualify for free/reduced lunch. This makes Hogg a compelling example of equitable excellence and a school to watch in Houston.

Worse school ever!! They don't care about their students. They allow kids to be bullied and don't do any thing about it. If you have the choice of not putting your kids there don't do it!! Run the other way!! Close Quote
