Summary

Woodridge Forest Middle in Porter, TX, serves 1,371 students in grades 6-8 and is part of the New Caney Independent School District (Isd), a district that ranks in the 31st percentile statewide. The school has a mixed performance record, with a notable strength in advanced math but significant challenges in core subjects, particularly for its predominantly low-income student body, where over 62% qualify for free or reduced lunch.

One of the most striking features of Woodridge Forest is its exceptional performance in Algebra I. In the 2025-2026 school year, a remarkable 90.22% of students taking the Algebra I End-of-Course exam were proficient, far exceeding the district average of 54.75% and the state average of 54.03%. This is a consistent trend, with proficiency rates above 84% in prior years, suggesting a highly effective and selective program for advanced math students. However, this success contrasts sharply with the school's struggles in on-grade-level 7th-grade math, where only 9.68% of students were proficient—the lowest rate among comparable schools in the area, including Ross Sterling Middle and Humble Middle. This "barbell" effect means the school excels at the top end but struggles with the core curriculum for most 7th graders.

Woodridge Forest also faces challenges in serving key subgroups, ranking in the bottom 25th percentile for Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and low-socioeconomic-status students in the 2025-2026 school year. Despite these academic struggles, the school maintains an exceptionally low dropout rate of 0.3%, compared to 0.7% district-wide and higher rates at nearby schools like Keefer Crossing Middle (1.0%) and Humble Middle (1.9%). This suggests the school is effective at keeping students enrolled, even if academic proficiency is a challenge. Historically, the school once ranked in the 87th percentile for serving "At Risk Students" in 2019, indicating a potential area of strength that could be revisited. Overall, Woodridge Forest is a solid school within its district but has seen a steady decline in state ranking, dropping from the 66th percentile in 2019 to the 33rd percentile in 2026.

The school itself is pretty decent for the most part! However, the coaches for the girl’s volleyball team are not fair with kids. They denied my child an opportunity to play on the team despite her skill set being on par or better than some of the other athletes that made the team. It just seemed rather unfair but that’s just how life goes. Had to use this as a teaching moment to my daughter who was distraught. Believe me, favoritism is alive and well in school athletics!
