Summary

Middle College H S At Hcc Gulfton is a very small high school in Houston, TX, serving just 72 students in the Houston Independent School District (Isd), and is designed as a specialized program to help students earn college credit while completing their diploma.

This school faces significant challenges, most notably a very low graduation rate of 55.6% and a high dropout rate of 16.0% for the 2023-2024 school year. These numbers are dramatically worse than nearby schools like Challenge Early College High School, which boasts a 100% graduation rate, or Bellaire High School at 90.9%. The school shares its address with Liberty High School, an alternative disciplinary school with similarly poor outcomes, suggesting it serves a student population with very high needs. Despite a low student-teacher ratio of 10.5:1—which could allow for more individual attention—the school has not been able to translate this into better overall results. Interestingly, the school spends more per student ($11,653) than many high-performing peers, indicating that funding alone is not the solution.

There are a few bright spots. The school shows a notable strength with English Language Learner (ELL) students, ranking in the 57th percentile statewide for this subgroup in the 2025-2026 school year, a significant improvement from previous years. Additionally, test scores can be volatile due to the small student body; for example, Biology proficiency jumped to 80% in 2025-2026, far exceeding the district and state averages, while Algebra I proficiency was only 16.67%. This volatility makes it hard to gauge the school’s true academic effectiveness, but it does suggest that some students can achieve strong results in specific subjects.
