Summary

Secondary Daep is a middle school located in Houston, Texas, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 59 students. It is part of the Houston Independent School District (HISD), which is ranked 505 out of 961 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Secondary Daep consistently ranks among the lowest-performing middle schools in Texas, with rankings between 2223 and 2321 out of around 2,300 schools over the past few years. Its performance on STAAR (State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness) tests is significantly below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. The school serves a high-needs student population, with 98% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a low socioeconomic status. Secondary Daep also has a high percentage of African American and Hispanic students, as well as a large population of English Language Learners and students with special needs. The school has had relatively high dropout rates, ranging from 3.5% to 4.1% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages.

When comparing Secondary Daep to nearby schools in the HISD district, it is clear that the school is an outlier in terms of academic performance and student demographics. For example, schools like Project Chrysalis Middle and Baylor College Of Medicine Biotech Academy At Rusk, which serve similar student populations, have significantly higher academic achievement and lower dropout rates. The data suggests that Secondary Daep is a struggling school that faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education for its students, and addressing these challenges will likely require a comprehensive, data-driven approach.
