Summary

Pasadena Memorial High School is a large, comprehensive high school in Pasadena, TX, serving 3,177 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Pasadena Independent School District (Isd). The school has a strong track record of academic performance, consistently ranking in the 60th to 68th percentile statewide over the past decade, with a peak of 75th percentile in 2021-2022. It stands out as the clear academic leader within its district, significantly outperforming nearby schools like Sam Rayburn High School (31st percentile) and South Houston High School (25th percentile) in nearly every academic metric, including a 62.53% proficiency rate in English II Reading compared to their rates of 42.49% and 40.92%.

One of the school's greatest strengths is its exceptional performance with specific student groups, particularly multi-racial students who rank in the 92nd percentile. The school also excels with Hispanic and low socio-economic status students, consistently earning 4-star ratings in the 72nd-73rd percentile range, and with English Language Learners at the 75th percentile. Additionally, Pasadena Memorial boasts a strong graduation rate of around 93%, significantly higher than district peers like South Houston (80.8%) and Tegeler Community School (70.0%), and even slightly above the high-performing Deer Park High School (94.2%). The school's Algebra I proficiency rate of 64.56% is a core strength, well above the state average of 54.03% and higher than nearby charters like Beta Academy (49.33%).

Despite these successes, Pasadena Memorial faces challenges, including a slight downward trend in its overall rank and stiff competition from nearby charter schools like Beta Academy (86th percentile) and Yes Prep - Southeast (79th percentile), which achieve higher test scores in English and Biology. The school also demonstrates resource efficiency, spending $9,737 per student compared to higher spending at lower-performing district peers like Sam Rayburn ($10,283) and South Houston ($10,634). An interesting highlight is the school's remarkable support for migrant students, ranking in the 98th percentile in 2023-2024, showcasing its ability to serve even its most vulnerable populations effectively.
