Summary:
The 14 schools in zip code 77338 (Humble, TX) serve students from Pre-K through 12th grade across two distinct districts, Humble Independent School District (Isd) and Aldine Independent School District (Isd), with a high average free/reduced lunch rate of 80.4% indicating significant economic challenges.
The standout performer is Guy M Sconzo Early College High School, which ranks in the 88th percentile statewide with exceptional test scores (93.65% proficient in English II Reading), a 100% graduation rate, and a 0% dropout rate—achieved despite the highest student-to-teacher ratio (19.6:1) and the lowest free/reduced lunch rate (51.84%). In stark contrast, Ogden Elementary ranks in the bottom 5th percentile with critically low scores, such as only 14.04% of 4th graders proficient in Math, despite a lower student-to-teacher ratio (14.2:1) and above-average spending ($11,511/student). Humble High School struggles with a 33rd percentile rank and an 85.3% graduation rate, while Ross Sterling Middle (Humble ISD) outperforms Teague Middle (Aldine ISD) in overall rankings (36th vs. 17th percentile).
Mathematics is a systemic weakness, with 7th-grade proficiency rates below 14% at all three middle schools, though Algebra I is a bright spot—93.94% proficient at Ross Sterling Middle and 70% at Teague Middle. An interesting finding is the "Spanish STAAR" effect: at Jones Elementary, 85.71% of 4th graders were proficient in Math on the Spanish version versus 43.41% on the English version, suggesting language barriers mask true academic skills for some English Language Learners. Overall, the data reveals a clear district performance gap, with Humble ISD schools generally outperforming Aldine ISD schools, and no direct correlation between spending and outcomes, emphasizing that instructional quality and student support are key drivers of success.
