Summary:

The city of New Caney, Texas, is home to 9 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative school.

Among the standout schools in New Caney, Keefer Crossing Middle stands out with the highest percentage of students proficient in Algebra I EOC at 85.05%, significantly outperforming the district and state averages. Dogwood Elementary also excels, with the highest reading proficiency rates among 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders in the district. The alternative schools, The Learning Center and Project Restore, both have impressive 0% dropout rates, potentially due to their low student-teacher ratios.

This suggests the need for targeted interventions and support to address the disparities, particularly for the economically disadvantaged students who make up a significant portion of the district's population. The strong performance of Keefer Crossing Middle in Algebra I EOC also highlights the importance of middle school preparation in setting students up for success in high school.
