Queens Intermediate has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas middle schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most years, lower than the surrounding schools, which generally have a 1- or 2-star rating.

While Queens Intermediate has a predominantly Hispanic student population, the school's performance data shows significant disparities in academic achievement among different racial/ethnic groups.

The nearby schools, such as South Houston Intermediate and Southmore Intermediate, which also serve predominantly Hispanic and economically disadvantaged student populations, generally perform better than Queens Intermediate on academic measures. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students and the school's consistently low rankings and ratings suggest that Queens Intermediate may face significant challenges in terms of resources, teacher quality, and other factors that can impact student learning and academic achievement.
