Summary:
In zip code 77079, there is one middle school, Spring Forest Middle, serving grades 6 through 8 with 993 students as part of the Spring Branch Independent School District (Isd), which is rated 4 stars (70th percentile) among Texas districts.
Spring Forest Middle shows a mixed performance profile. The school's standout strength is its advanced math program, with 80.82% of students scoring proficient in Algebra I, far exceeding both the district (65.94%) and state (54.03%) averages. The school also boasts an exceptionally low dropout rate of just 0.1%, compared to the district's 2.0%. However, there are significant areas of concern. Most notably, 7th-grade math proficiency is critically low at 13.25%, a steep drop from 6th-grade math (42.69%) and well below the state average of 29.41%. Additionally, 8th-grade social studies scores are a consistent weakness at 20.96% proficient, trailing the district (37.19%) and state (31.69%).
Overall, Spring Forest Middle ranks in the 62nd percentile statewide (3 stars), a position it has held steadily for three years. Reading scores are a relative strength, consistently above state averages across all grades. With 52.27% of students economically disadvantaged and a student-teacher ratio of 16.1, the school spends $10,349 per student. The key takeaway for parents is a school that excels at accelerating top math students and retaining students, but faces clear challenges in supporting 7th-grade math and 8th-grade social studies instruction.
