Summary:
Bleyl Middle is a public middle school in Houston, Texas, serving 1,451 students in grades 6-8 as part of the Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District (CFISD), which is ranked 363 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Bleyl Middle has a diverse student population, with a higher percentage of African American (33.43%) and Hispanic (43.49%) students compared to the district and state averages. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is generally lower than the district and state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the percentage of students proficient or better in STAAR Reading for 6th, 7th, and 8th grades at Bleyl Middle was 45.14%, 41.28%, and 51.06%, respectively, compared to the district's 60.49%, 57.36%, and 60.34%. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Gifted and Talented students performing relatively well, but English Language Learners and Special Education students performing below the state average.
When compared to other middle schools in the same district, such as Campbell Middle, Bleyl Middle generally performs worse academically, with lower STAAR test scores and lower rankings. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (71.95% in 2022-2023) and the school's higher dropout rate, which has increased from 0.2% in 2018-2019 to 0.6% in 2021-2022, may be contributing factors to the school's challenges. However, the school's diverse student population and the strong performance of its Gifted and Talented students suggest opportunities for improvement with the right targeted interventions and support.
