In zip code 77042, there is one middle school, Revere Middle, serving grades 6 through 8 with a large enrollment of 1,095 students in the Houston Independent School District (Isd), an area characterized by high economic need where over 91% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.
Revere Middle presents a mixed picture of performance. The school's most impressive achievement is in advanced math: 90.3% of students taking the Algebra I End-of-Course exam were proficient, far exceeding the district average of 57.6% and the state average of 54%. However, this success contrasts sharply with grade-level math proficiency, where only 26.6% of 6th graders and 44.7% of 8th graders met standards. Reading proficiency is somewhat better, ranging from 24.1% in 6th grade to 38.8% in 8th grade, while 8th-grade social studies proficiency is very low at just 11.2%. The school also has a concerning dropout rate of 6.9%, nearly double the district's 3.8%.
Despite these challenges, Revere Middle shows clear signs of improvement. Its state ranking has risen from the 5th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 20th percentile in 2025-2026, earning a one-star rating. This upward trend is visible in 8th-grade reading, where proficiency nearly doubled from 20.6% to 38.8% over the same period. The school's student-teacher ratio of 16.9:1 and per-student spending of $9,426 provide context for its resources. For parents, the key takeaway is that while the school struggles with overall proficiency and a high dropout rate, it has a standout advanced math program and is on a trajectory of improvement, particularly in reading.
