Summary

Sharyland North J H is a middle school in McAllen, TX, serving 791 students in grades 7 and 8 as part of the Sharyland Independent School District (Isd), a district ranked in the top 25% statewide.

This school stands out for its exceptional math program. For the last four years, every single student taking Algebra I has passed the state exam—a perfect record that is unmatched in the area. This strength carries into 8th-grade math, where 70.84% of students are proficient, far exceeding the state average of 47.24%. However, 7th-grade math is a relative weakness, with only 34.88% proficient, suggesting the school excels at accelerating top math students but may need to bolster its general curriculum. Social Studies is a consistent challenge, with just 20.82% of 8th graders proficient, below both district and state averages. The school is also highly effective at supporting all students, with Special Education students ranking in the 83rd percentile statewide and Hispanic and low socio-economic status students consistently ranking in the 80th percentile or higher. This is particularly impressive given that 69.4% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school also maintains a dropout rate near 0%.

Compared to nearby schools, Sharyland North J H achieves strong results with fewer resources. It spends less per student ($10,534) than lower-performing peers like Domingo Trevino Middle ($13,743) and Travis Middle ($13,889), and has a slightly higher student-teacher ratio of 16:1. Even when compared to the high-performing Michael E Fossum Middle (86th percentile), which serves a more affluent population, Sharyland North J H matches or exceeds it in 8th-grade math and Algebra I proficiency. While the school’s overall state ranking has slipped slightly from its peak in 2016-2017, it remains a strong 4-star institution that consistently delivers for its students.
