Summary

Sharpstown International School is a public magnet school in the Houston Independent School District (Isd) serving 1,352 students in grades 6 through 12, where over 92% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, yet the school has a strong track record of academic success.

Sharpstown International stands out for its exceptional graduation and dropout rates, consistently graduating around 92-95% of students with a dropout rate as low as 0.3% to 0.6% over the last five years. This is a stark contrast to nearby Sharpstown High School, which has a 67.1% graduation rate and a 7.2% dropout rate. The school also excels in high school End-of-Course exams, significantly outperforming both the district and state averages in Biology (83.2%), English II Reading (77.8%), and U.S. History (86.5%). For comparison, Sharpstown High School scored only 62% in Biology and 36.6% in English II. The school is particularly effective with high-needs student subgroups, ranking in the 97th percentile for Special Education Students and 93rd percentile for Low Socio-Economic Status Students in 2024, demonstrating its ability to close achievement gaps.

An interesting pattern emerges in the test data: while 6th and 8th-grade math proficiency rates are low (22.3% and 12.7%), the school's Algebra I EOC proficiency jumps to 38.6%, and high school science and history scores are world-class. This "J-curve" of performance suggests that instruction becomes exceptionally strong in the upper grades. Sharpstown International also holds its own against area charter schools, with a graduation rate comparable to Yes Prep - Gulfton (93.8%) and a lower dropout rate than Yes Prep - West (0.9%). However, the school's Gifted and Talented students ranked in the 20th percentile statewide, suggesting a need for more enrichment for its highest-achieving students.
