Summary

Lomax J H is a middle school in La Porte, TX, serving 540 students in grades 7 and 8 within the La Porte Independent School District (Isd), a high-performing district ranked in the top 30% of Texas.

Lomax J H stands out for its exceptional Algebra I program, with a remarkable 94.78% of students proficient on the End-of-Course exam in 2025-2026—far exceeding the district average of 59.4% and the state average of 54.03%. This is a consistent strength, with scores above 87% in prior years. However, the school shows a clear "math gap": only 21.01% of 7th graders were proficient in standard math, below the state average of 29.41%. This suggests a highly effective pipeline for advanced math students, but a challenge in supporting the majority of learners in grade-level math. On a positive note, Lomax J H excels in serving its Special Education students, ranking in the 74th percentile statewide—a significant differentiator from many schools. The school also has a very low dropout rate of 0.2% and a student-teacher ratio of 14.9.

Compared to nearby schools, Lomax J H consistently outperforms its in-district peer, La Porte J H, which ranks in the 43rd percentile versus Lomax's 61st. However, it faces stiff competition from neighboring Deer Park Independent School District (Isd) schools like Fairmont J H, which ranks in the 88th percentile with proficiency rates above 65% in all subjects. After a decline from its 2016 peak, Lomax J H's overall ranking has stabilized and shown a slight upward trend, moving from the 55th percentile in 2022 to the 61st in 2026, indicating recent initiatives may be yielding positive results.
