Summary:
In zip code 77336, there is one middle school, Huffman Middle, serving grades 6 through 8 in the Huffman area, part of the Huffman Independent School District (Isd).
Huffman Middle has 889 students and a student-teacher ratio of 16.5:1. The school shows a stark contrast in math performance: while only 13.91% of 7th graders were proficient in standard math (well below the state average of 29.41%), 100% of students who took the Algebra I End-of-Course exam were proficient, far exceeding the state average of 54.03%. This suggests a strong advanced math program for a select group, but the majority of students in regular math classes are struggling significantly. The school's state ranking has declined over three years, from the 31st percentile to the 22nd percentile, even as some test scores have slightly improved, indicating that other schools are improving faster. The dropout rate is very low at 0.3%, compared to the district's 0.9%.
Overall, Huffman Middle consistently scores below state averages in reading, standard math, science, and social studies. For example, 6th-grade reading proficiency was 38.33% versus the state's 53.52%. The school spends $9,321 per student, and nearly 40% of students are eligible for free or reduced lunch. While the school excels in advanced math and student retention, the declining state ranking and widespread underperformance in core subjects are key concerns for parents to consider.
