Summary

Schultz J H is a middle school in Waller, TX, serving 1,194 students in grades 6-8 as part of the Waller Independent School District (Isd), where nearly 60% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. This school stands out for its exceptional Algebra I program, with 91.11% of students proficient in 2025-2026—far above the state average of 54.03% and its own district average of 58.15%. However, this strength contrasts sharply with grade-level math struggles: only 26.28% of 6th graders and 31.89% of 7th graders were proficient, well below state averages. The school also performs relatively well in 8th Grade Science and Social Studies, with Social Studies scores (35.95%) exceeding the state average (31.69%).

Compared to nearby high-performing schools in districts like Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District (Isd), the academic gaps are significant. For instance, in 8th Grade Reading, Schultz J H scored 46.95% proficient, while nearby Sprague Middle scored 88.09% and Smith Middle scored 85.82%. Within its own district, Schultz J H outperforms its sister school, Waller J H, which is just 1.15 miles away and has similar demographics. Schultz J H leads in 8th Grade Math (42.81% vs. 27.34%) and Social Studies (35.95% vs. 23.72%), ranking in the 44th percentile compared to Waller J H's 41st.

Historically, Schultz J H peaked in the 75th percentile in 2017-2018 but has since declined, settling into the low-to-mid 40th percentile range. The school maintains an exceptionally low dropout rate (often 0.0%) and spends $9,751 per student—higher than many high-performing neighbors like Smith Middle ($7,698) and Sprague Middle ($8,950). This suggests the challenge lies in resource allocation rather than funding. The school has shown relative strength with its African American students, who consistently rank in the 54th-65th percentile, while struggling most with its Asian and Multi-racial populations. Overall, Schultz J H offers a strong advanced math program but faces systemic challenges in raising grade-level achievement across the board.
