Summary

Jones Futures Academy is a public magnet high school in Houston, Texas, serving 317 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Houston Independent School District, which is ranked 505 out of 961 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Jones Futures Academy has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the years, dropping from 357 out of 1,762 Texas high schools in 2015-2016 to 1,289 out of 1,974 in 2024-2025, its performance varies across different student subgroups. The school ranks higher for African American students (293 out of 1,031 in 2021-2022) compared to Gifted and Talented students (866 out of 1,182 in 2022-2023). Additionally, the school's graduation rate, ranging from 81.7% to 90.8% in recent years, is lower than the state average, and its STAAR EOC test scores are generally below the district and state averages.

Interestingly, nearby schools such as KIPP East End High School, South Early College High School, and Energy Institute High School tend to outperform Jones Futures Academy in terms of statewide rankings and test scores. This may be partly due to the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (over 95%) at Jones Futures Academy, which could be a contributing factor to the school's struggles despite increased per-student spending in recent years.
