Summary

Richardson North J H is a middle school in Richardson, TX, serving 574 students in grades 7-8 within the Richardson Independent School District (Isd), a district ranked in the 63rd percentile statewide. The school has a strong and consistent track record, maintaining a state ranking in the 78th to 84th percentile over the last decade and earning a consistent 4-star rating, with 35.7% of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch.

Richardson North J H stands out for its exceptional performance in specific areas. White students rank in the 97th percentile statewide (5 stars), and the school demonstrates outstanding support for Special Education students, who ranked in the 89th percentile (4 stars) in the most recent data. The school also achieves significantly higher proficiency rates in 8th Grade Social Studies (54.62% proficient vs. 31.69% statewide) and Algebra I (71.6% proficient vs. 54.03% statewide), suggesting a strong math program that accelerates students into high school-level coursework. This advanced math performance even surpasses nearby magnet schools like Richardson West Technology And Arts Magnet (53.64% proficient) and Westwood Math Science Leadership Magnet (65.45% proficient). The school is also competitive with top Plano ISD schools, performing on par with Haggard Middle (84th percentile) and outperforming Wilson Middle (66th percentile) and Frankford Middle (38th percentile).

However, the school faces significant challenges in serving certain student groups. Hispanic Students (41st percentile), Low Socioeconomic Status Students (42nd percentile), and especially English Language Learner (ELL) Students (8th percentile) perform well below state averages, with the ELL subgroup ranking in the bottom 10% of the state. This contrasts sharply with the school's overall success and highlights a critical area for improvement. The school's consistent excellence over the past decade, never dipping below the 69th percentile, indicates a stable and effective school culture, but the data gap for "At Risk" students since 2021-2022 makes it difficult to assess recent progress for this vulnerable population.
