Summary

Montgomery J H is a public middle school located in Montgomery, Texas, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 1,069 students. It is part of the Montgomery Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 96 out of 961 districts in Texas and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Montgomery J H consistently ranks among the top 25% of Texas middle schools, with strong academic performance on STAAR tests that exceeds state and district averages across various subjects and grade levels. The school's Algebra I end-of-course proficiency rate is particularly impressive, reaching 87.7% in 2024-2025, significantly higher than the state and district averages. Oak Hills J H, another middle school in the Montgomery ISD, has a similar performance profile to Montgomery J H, with strong academic results and rankings.

In comparison, the middle schools in the Magnolia ISD and Conroe ISD tend to have lower proficiency rates and rankings compared to Montgomery J H. This may be partly attributed to Montgomery J H's relatively more affluent student population, as the school has a lower percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch compared to the nearby schools in the Magnolia ISD and Conroe ISD. However, the school's academic success is not solely driven by higher per-student spending, but likely a combination of factors, including effective teaching, curriculum, and school leadership.

What people are saying

by a parent
Thursday, May 19, 2016

This is a very big junior high (and there's only 2 grade levels - 7th & 8th, not 3 as indicated on School Digger). Anyway, I cannot stress enough how important it is for your child to be involved in at least one school-affiliated activity in order to feel connected. And this school has a lot to offer: band, theater, choir, all kinds of sports, cheerleading, drill team, student council, chess club, service club, FCA, NJHS, etc. The school administration is top notch as are most of the teachers. The academics are very good with many advanced level classes offered, including Spanish and Algebra I. My only complaint as a parent is the 7th grade Texas History project was too over-the-top. Otherwise, both of my kids had a wonderful 2 years here. Close Quote
