Summary

New Waverly J H is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in the New Waverly Independent School District (ISD) in Texas, with 258 students. The school consistently outperforms the state average on STAAR tests, with 76.4% of 8th graders proficient or better in reading and an impressive 83.33% proficiency in Algebra I, significantly higher than the state's 47.01%. However, the school faces challenges in addressing achievement gaps for certain subgroups, such as its special education and at-risk student populations.

When compared to nearby middle schools, New Waverly J H generally outperforms them on test scores, especially in reading and math. For example, in 2024-2025 STAAR Reading, the school had 76.4% proficiency, compared to 59% at the closest nearby school, Montgomery J H. The school's exceptional performance in Algebra I suggests a strong focus on advanced math coursework. Despite these strengths, the school's overall ranking has declined from the top 35% of Texas middle schools in 2015-2016 to the top 25% in 2024-2025, indicating potential challenges in maintaining its high level of academic achievement.

While New Waverly J H excels with its Hispanic students, it struggles with its African American, special education, and at-risk student populations, which perform significantly worse than their peers at the school and lag behind state averages. Addressing these achievement gaps and continuing to support all student populations will be crucial for the school's future success. With a spending range of $9,695 to $10,089 per student, higher than the state average, the school may be well-positioned to invest in targeted interventions and resources to improve outcomes for all its students.
