of 2,344 Texas Middle Schools

Better than 22% of Texas middle schools

Summary

Holland Middle is a public middle school in Houston, Texas, serving 591 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Houston Independent School District (HISD), which is ranked 505 out of 961 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Unfortunately, Holland Middle has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Texas middle schools over the past decade, currently ranking 1827 out of 2344 middle schools in the state for the 2024-2025 school year.

The school's academic performance is a significant concern, with proficiency rates ranging from just 10.9% in 8th grade Social Studies to 43.75% in 8th grade Mathematics, well below the HISD and state averages. Holland Middle also struggles with high dropout rates, ranging from 3.5% to 5.9% in recent years, which are significantly higher than the state average. The school serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, with 96.79% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. Additionally, the school's special education and English Language Learner (ELL) students perform significantly worse than their peers across the state.

Interestingly, the nearby Fleming Middle, Navarro Middle, and Deady Middle schools also struggle academically and have similar demographic profiles to Holland Middle. However, the KIPP Intrepid Preparatory charter school, located within a few miles, outperforms the district and state averages across most subject areas, suggesting that school choice and alternative educational models may be beneficial for the community.
