Summary:
The 77039 zip code area in Houston, Texas is home to three middle schools: Grantham Academy, Mead Middle, and Hambrick Middle. These schools serve a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, with high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 90.78% to 94.04%.
Among the three schools, Grantham Academy stands out with its exceptional Algebra I proficiency rates, which are significantly higher than the district and state averages. However, the school still struggles with lower reading and science proficiency compared to state standards. Hambrick Middle demonstrates the strongest mathematics performance, with 8th-grade math proficiency rates well above the district and state averages, though it lags behind in other subject areas.
Despite these pockets of academic success, the middle schools in the 77039 zip code area face significant challenges. All three schools have a concerning 3.2% dropout rate for the 2022-2023 school year, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, the schools' overall academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in reading, math, science, and social studies, is well below state averages, indicating a need for targeted interventions and support to improve student learning outcomes. The Aldine Independent School District must address these challenges to ensure equitable educational opportunities for the students in this community.
