Summary

Michael R Null Middle in Houston, TX, serves 1,050 students in grades 6-8 within the Sheldon Independent School District (Isd), and is located in a community where 82% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

This school is in the midst of a powerful transformation, with its state ranking jumping from the 12th percentile to the 41st percentile in just four years. The most striking success is in Algebra I, where 87.79% of students scored proficient—a rate that rivals much more affluent schools like Woodcreek Middle (91.09%) and West Lake Middle (94.81%). The school also excels at supporting specific student groups, with Hispanic, English Language Learner, and low-income students ranking in the 59th to 66th percentiles statewide—well above the school's overall rank. Additionally, the dropout rate is exceptionally low at 0.4%, compared to the district average of 1.6% and nearby schools like Forest Brook Middle (3.2%).

However, the school's improvement is uneven. While its advanced math program is elite, standard grade-level math is a major weakness—for example, only 14.16% of 7th graders were proficient in math, far below the state average of 29.41%. The school consistently outperforms its district average but still lags behind the state in most subjects. The challenge ahead is to broaden the success seen in Algebra I and with specific subgroups to the general student population, ensuring the rapid upward trend continues across all subjects and grade levels.
