Better than 3% of Texas high schools

Summary

Momentum High School is a public high school in Houston, Texas, serving grades 8-12 with a total enrollment of 236 students. Unfortunately, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 5% of Texas high schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past two school years.

Momentum High School significantly underperforms compared to the Spring Independent School District and state averages on STAAR End-of-Course (EOC) exams. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 3.45% of Momentum High School students were proficient or better in Algebra I, compared to 27.85% for the district and 47.01% for the state. The school's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 5% of Texas high schools for African American, Hispanic, English Language Learner, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status students in the 2023-2024 school year.

Interestingly, Momentum High School is located relatively close (within 2 miles) to the high-performing Spring Early College Academy, which has consistently ranked in the top 5% of Texas high schools and achieved a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. This proximity highlights the stark contrast in educational outcomes between the two schools. The high percentage of students from low-income families and the school's low ranking for subgroups like English Language Learners and Special Education students suggest that Momentum High School may be facing significant challenges in addressing the unique needs of its student population, which likely contribute to the school's consistently poor academic performance.
