Summary

Middle College H S At Hcc Fraga is a small high school in Houston, TX, serving 130 students in grades 9-12 within the Houston Independent School District (Isd), and is located on the campus of Houston Community College (HCC) Fraga.

This school stands out for its remarkable turnaround and exceptional support for students. Over the past seven years, it has climbed from a 1-star rating to a consistent 4-star school, now ranking in the 77th percentile statewide. Its graduation rate of 94.7% far exceeds the district average of 84.3% and is dramatically higher than nearby comprehensive high schools like Wheatley High School (62.6%) and Yates High School (75.4%). The dropout rate is a mere 0.7%, compared to the district's 3.8%. The school is particularly effective for English Language Learners, who rank in the 96th percentile statewide, and for students from low-income backgrounds, who rank in the 88th percentile. This success is driven by the "Middle College" model, which gives students access to college-level coursework and a focused academic environment. The school also invests heavily in its students, spending $15,764 per student and maintaining a low 14.5:1 student-teacher ratio.

While the school excels in math and science—with proficiency rates in Algebra I (88.24%) and Biology (85.71%) well above state averages—its performance in English Language Arts is a relative weakness, with English I Reading proficiency at 50%. This suggests a need for targeted literacy support. Interestingly, the nearby East Early College High School (0.08 miles away) operates on a similar model and achieves even higher test scores, especially in ELA, but serves a slightly less economically disadvantaged population. Overall, Middle College Fraga is a beacon of equity in a challenging district, proving that a focused, supportive model can overcome significant obstacles and prepare students for college and career success.
