Summary:
In zip code 77372, there is one middle school, Splendora J H, serving grades 7 and 8 with 877 students as part of the Splendora Independent School District (Isd).
Splendora J H shows a mixed performance profile. The school has a notable strength in advanced math, with 76.98% of students proficient in Algebra I, which is 42.9 percentage points above the state average. However, standard 8th-grade math proficiency is very low at only 17.48%, creating a large gap of nearly 30 points below the state. Reading scores are closer to state averages, especially in 8th grade where the gap is just 6.64 points. The school's state ranking has improved over three years, moving from the 13th to the 24th percentile, indicating positive momentum despite remaining below average overall.
Key statistics include a student-teacher ratio of 16.8:1, a 39.91% economically disadvantaged rate, and per-student spending of $10,897. The dropout rate is low at 0.5%, below the district's 1.0%. The standout finding is the "Algebra I paradox," where only top math students are accelerated into advanced courses, leaving most 8th graders struggling with grade-level math. This suggests a strong program for high achievers but a critical need to improve math instruction for the general student body. The school's upward ranking trend is encouraging, but significant work remains to close the achievement gaps in core subjects.
