Houston Math Science And Technology Center

Summary:

Houston Math Science And Technology Center is a public high school serving 2,779 students in grades 9-12 in Houston, Texas, which is part of the Houston Independent School District. The school has a predominantly Hispanic student population, making up 92.08% of the student body.

Despite being part of a large urban district, Houston Math Science And Technology Center has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Texas high schools over the past decade, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's four-year graduation rate has declined from 88.7% in 2019-2020 to 78.0% in 2022-2023, which is significantly lower than the state and district averages. Additionally, the school's dropout rate has increased from 2.4% in 2017-2018 to 4.8% in 2021-2022, higher than the state and district averages. Academically, the school consistently underperforms the state and district averages on STAAR End-of-Course (EOC) exams, with proficiency rates ranging from 11-50% across different subject areas, compared to state averages of 45-71%.

Nearby schools, such as Washington B T High School, Kashmere High School, and the Yes Prep charter schools, generally outperform Houston Math Science And Technology Center on academic metrics, graduation rates, and statewide rankings, despite serving similar student populations in terms of racial/ethnic composition and socioeconomic status. This suggests that the challenges faced by Houston Math Science And Technology Center may be unique to the school itself, and addressing these issues will require a comprehensive school improvement plan focused on improving instructional quality, curriculum alignment, student support services, and school culture.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
