Summary
Oak Hills J H in Montgomery, TX, is a high-performing junior high school serving 1,311 students in grades 6-8 as part of the top-rated Montgomery Independent School District (Isd). This school stands out as the highest-ranked middle school in its area, placing in the top 12% of all Texas middle schools, and it consistently earns 4 or 5-star ratings from SchoolDigger.
What truly sets Oak Hills J H apart is its exceptional performance in advanced mathematics. The school achieves near-perfect proficiency rates (97-100%) on the Algebra I End-of-Course exam, far exceeding the district average of 70.77% and the state average of 54.03%. This strength is not isolated—Oak Hills consistently outperforms district and state averages in Reading, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies across all grade levels. For context, while nearby schools like Peet J H and Robert P Brabham Middle rank significantly lower (988th and 1,515th respectively), Oak Hills holds a state rank of 267th. Even its district counterpart, Montgomery J H, ranks lower at 609th. The school also achieves these results while spending less per student ($8,387) than many lower-performing schools, suggesting efficient resource use.
One interesting pattern is the "7th Grade Math Dip" seen across the region—Oak Hills sees a drop in math proficiency at this level (40% in 2025-2026), but this is a shared challenge with schools like Bear Branch J H (47%) and Montgomery J H (11%). On a positive note, Oak Hills has shown remarkable improvement in supporting its English Language Learner and low socio-economic status students, with the latter subgroup jumping to the 73rd percentile statewide. However, the school has seen a decline in performance for its African American and Asian student subgroups, which warrants attention to ensure all students are thriving. Overall, Oak Hills J H offers a strong, well-rounded academic program with standout math opportunities.
