Summary

Harper Daep is a small public high school in Houston, Texas, serving grades 9-12 and part of the Houston Independent School District (HISD). With just 127 students, the school has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing high schools in the state, receiving a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for several years.

Harper Daep's students perform significantly below district and state averages on the STAAR end-of-course exams, with only 2.56% proficient or better in Algebra I compared to 50.52% for HISD and 47.01% for Texas. The school also has high dropout rates, ranging from 3.5% to 4.1% in recent years, much higher than the district and state. Nearby schools like Scarborough High School, Heights High School, and Houston Math Science and Technology Center generally outperform Harper Daep on key metrics.

The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at Harper Daep, over 83% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, may contribute to the school's challenges. However, the data suggests there is room for improvement with targeted interventions and additional resources to support the unique needs of its student population and drive meaningful progress in academic outcomes and dropout reduction.
