Summary

McReynolds Middle is a public middle school in Houston, TX, serving 297 students in grades 6-8 as part of the Houston Independent School District (Isd), with over 97% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, reflecting a high level of economic need in the area.

McReynolds is in the midst of a remarkable turnaround, climbing from the 2nd percentile statewide in 2022-2023 to the 25th percentile in 2025-2026—its highest rank in nearly a decade. This improvement outpaces nearby schools like Fleming Middle (16th percentile) and Holland Middle (23rd percentile). The school’s standout feature is its Algebra I program, where proficiency rates have consistently exceeded 86% in recent years, far above the district and state averages. This suggests a highly effective advanced math track for select students. However, performance in other core subjects, like 6th-grade math (28.74% proficient) and 8th-grade social studies (16.67% proficient), lags behind, creating a "barbell" pattern of strengths and weaknesses.

One of the school’s biggest success stories is its support for English Language Learners (ELL), who now rank in the 77th percentile statewide—a dramatic leap from the 2nd percentile just three years ago. This targeted intervention contrasts with the broader student body’s struggles in standard classes. Compared to top-performing Project Chrysalis Middle (97th percentile), McReynolds still has ground to cover, but its rapid progress is commendable given its challenging demographic profile. The dropout rate has also improved, dropping to 3.5% in 2023-2024, slightly below the district average. For parents, McReynolds offers a promising story of recovery, with standout programs in advanced math and ELL support, though the school must now work to extend these successes to all students.
