Summary

Harris Middle is a mid-sized public school in San Antonio, TX, serving 903 students in grades 6-8 as part of the North East Independent School District (Isd). While the school historically performed well, ranking in the 64th to 75th percentile before the pandemic, recent data shows a steep decline, with its state ranking dropping to the 26th percentile in the most recent year.

The most pressing concern is a "math crisis" affecting the majority of students. In 7th grade math, only 8.14% of Harris students scored proficient, the lowest rate in the district and far below the state average of 29.41%. This is a stark contrast to nearby schools like Bush Middle, Tejeda Middle, and Hill Middle, which consistently rank in the 85th-89th percentile. However, there is a puzzling bright spot: students who take Algebra I (an advanced high school-level course) perform exceptionally well, with 78.38% scoring proficient—outpacing the district and state averages. This suggests the school excels with its advanced track but struggles to bring the majority of students to grade-level proficiency.

The decline is broad and recent, affecting nearly every student subgroup, and it is not explained by a lack of resources. Harris spends $9,274 per student, more than its high-performing peers, and has a moderate poverty rate of 47.3%—lower than the struggling Wood Middle (67.4%) but higher than top performers like Bush (25.5%). This points to systemic issues in instructional strategy or school culture rather than funding. For parents, the key takeaway is that Harris offers a strong program for advanced math students but is in urgent need of intervention to improve core math instruction for all students.
