Summary:
In zip code 77067, there is one high school, Davis H S Aldine, serving grades 9-12 within the Aldine Independent School District (Isd), a densely populated area where over 83% of students are economically disadvantaged.
Davis H S Aldine is a large school with 3,184 students and a student-teacher ratio of 16.9:1, but its academic performance is a significant concern. The school consistently underperforms compared to both the district and state averages in core subjects like Algebra I (24.64% proficiency vs. 54.03% statewide), Biology (45.34% vs. 70.51%), and English I Reading (28.46% vs. 55.43%). The only bright spot is U.S. History, where the school's proficiency rate of 67.59% actually exceeds the district average of 66.02%, though it remains slightly below the state average of 70.17%. The school's graduation rate is 83.3%, slightly below the district's 84.6%, and its dropout rate of 4.0% is notably higher than the district's 2.7%.
The school has a 1-star rating and ranks in the 21st percentile among Texas high schools, a position it has held for three consecutive years with no meaningful improvement. While per-student spending is $9,847, the persistent achievement gap—especially in math and reading—suggests that current resources may not be effectively addressing the challenges of a high-poverty student body. The "U.S. History anomaly" is a key takeaway, as it is the only subject where the school meets or exceeds the district average, potentially pointing to an effective teacher or curriculum that could be replicated in other subjects. However, the high dropout rate remains a critical issue requiring urgent intervention.
