Summary

Stevenson Middle in Houston, TX, serves 1,096 students in grades 6-8 within the Houston Independent School District (Isd), and is located in a predominantly low-income community where over 90% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Stevenson Middle stands out for its exceptional performance in advanced coursework, particularly in Algebra I and Biology End-of-Course (EOC) exams, where it consistently outperforms district and state averages by wide margins—for example, achieving nearly 89% proficiency in Algebra I compared to the state average of 54%. This success, however, contrasts sharply with struggles in core subjects: only 8% of 7th graders met grade-level math standards in 2025-2026, the lowest among nearby schools like Ortiz Middle and Deady Middle. This "bimodal" performance suggests that while advanced students thrive, the general student body faces significant challenges, especially in 7th-grade math—a systemic issue across the region. On a positive note, the school maintains a low dropout rate of 1.0%, well below the HISD average of 3.8%, indicating strong student retention.

Compared to nearby schools in the Pasadena Independent School District (Isd), such as Earnesteen Milstead Middle and Rick Schneider Middle, Stevenson offers a more specialized advanced track but has larger class sizes (17.8:1 student-teacher ratio vs. 10.6:1 at some Pasadena schools). The school's subgroup data shows improving outcomes for African American and low-income students, but a sharp decline for Asian students. For parents, Stevenson offers a strong advanced program but requires careful attention to whether their child will be placed in the advanced track or need support in core subjects like math.
