Summary:
The 77026 zip code area of Houston, Texas is home to 7 schools serving students from elementary through high school, all part of the Houston Independent School District (HISD). While the district as a whole is ranked 505 out of 961 in Texas and rated 2 stars, a few standout schools in this area demonstrate strong academic performance.
The top-performing school is Yes Prep - Northside High School, a public charter high school with an impressive 93.1% graduation rate and just a 0.9% dropout rate. This school consistently outperforms HISD and Texas averages on STAAR/EOC exams across multiple subjects. Another high-achieving school is Fleming Middle School, a public magnet school with the highest proficiency rates on STAAR Mathematics and Algebra I exams among the middle schools in the area.
In contrast, some of the traditional public elementary and middle schools in the 77026 zip code struggle to meet state standards, with high percentages of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. These schools, such as Dogan Elementary and Key Middle, face unique challenges in providing adequate resources and support to help their students succeed academically. The data suggests that alternative school models, like the public charter and magnet schools, may be more effective in addressing the needs of this community.
