Summary

The Summit (Intermediate) in Pasadena, TX, is a very small Title I school serving just 76 students in grades 5 through 8 within the Pasadena Independent School District (Isd), where nearly 9 out of 10 students come from economically disadvantaged households.

This school presents a striking paradox: it has the smallest class sizes in the area, with a student-teacher ratio of just 7.1:1, and spends an extraordinary $79,514 per student—over six times more than nearby schools like Bondy Intermediate ($9,603) or Marshall Kendrick Middle ($10,758). Despite these resources, academic performance is critically low. For the 2025-2026 school year, 0% of 6th and 8th graders were proficient in Math, and only 2.7% of 7th graders were. This is dramatically lower than nearby Pasadena ISD schools; for example, 57.62% of 8th graders at Bondy Intermediate were proficient in Math. The Summit has ranked in the bottom 3% of all Texas middle schools for six consecutive years. One small bright spot is Algebra I, where 40% of students were proficient, though this still trails the district average of 61.77%.

The school's challenges are further highlighted by a stark contrast with schools just a mile or two away in the Deer Park Independent School District (Isd). At Deer Park J H, 69.86% of 8th graders were proficient in Reading, compared to just 8.57% at The Summit. While the school appears to have a relative strength with its English Language Learner students, who ranked in the 12th percentile statewide, this still underscores the profound academic struggles. The Summit's small size and high spending have not translated into academic gains, suggesting deeper systemic issues that parents should carefully consider.
