Summary:
In zip code 77025, there is one high school, Harmony School Of Ingenuity-Houston, a charter school serving grades 6 through 12 with 727 students in a predominantly low-income area where over 77% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.
Harmony School Of Ingenuity-Houston is a school of stark contrasts, excelling in some subjects while struggling in others. Its standout strengths are in high school U.S. History, where 83.62% of students scored proficient (13 points above the state average), and English II Reading, with 72.13% proficiency (12 points above the state). However, the school faces significant challenges in middle school, particularly in 7th Grade Mathematics, where only 12.07% of students are proficient (17 points below the state), and 8th Grade Social Studies at 12.82% proficiency. This creates a "7th grade math wall" where proficiency drops dramatically from 6th grade (44.05%) to 7th grade (12.07%). The school is part of the Harmony Public Schools - Houston South district, and it consistently underperforms its district averages in most subjects, suggesting there may be best practices from other schools in the network that could be applied here.
Despite these academic challenges, the school shows resilience with a 0% dropout rate and a 94% graduation rate, both impressive given the high poverty level. The school's state ranking has improved from the 48th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 60th percentile in 2025-2026, indicating a positive trajectory. While middle school subjects are weak, high school End-of-Course exams show strength in English II and U.S. History, with performance at or above state averages in Algebra I, Biology, and English I. The student-teacher ratio of 15.3:1 provides reasonable class sizes for individualized attention.
