Summary

Memorial High School is a public high school in Houston, Texas, serving 2,640 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Spring Branch Independent School District, which is ranked 335 out of 961 districts in Texas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Memorial High School has consistently performed well, ranking in the top 10% of Texas high schools in recent years. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school ranked 146 out of 1,974 Texas high schools and received a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school outperforms the district and state averages on STAAR End-of-Course (EOC) exams across all subject areas, often by 20-30 percentage points or more. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Memorial High School had a 92.01% proficiency rate on the U.S. History EOC, compared to 75.91% for the district and 67.94% for the state. The school also maintains high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 87.1% to 94.9% over the past few years, and low dropout rates, ranging from 0.9% to 2.7%.

While Memorial High School performs well overall, there are a few areas where the school could potentially improve, such as the performance of its African American and Hispanic student subgroups, as well as its Gifted and Talented program, which has a lower ranking compared to the school's overall performance. Additionally, the school's performance on the Algebra I EOC exam is slightly lower than its performance on other subject areas. However, Memorial High School outperforms the nearby Westchester Academy for International Studies and Northbrook High School within the Spring Branch Independent School District, though it does not match the performance of the top-ranked Alief Early College High School in the Houston area.

Wednesday, October 10, 2018

It's amazing...idk, its really vigorous academic wise. Offers a lot of afterschool activities and extracurriculars. Teachers (most of them) are nice and sometimes lenient. All sports except girls volleyball sucks. Football is dead in this school, don't come for that. Um yeah...I HATE SCHOOL, but only because they're preparing me for college and the STRESS, kill me but yeah overall most of the time its pretty good. Close Quote
