Summary

Memorial Middle is a public middle school located in Houston, Texas, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 1,247 students. It is part of the Spring Branch Independent School District (SBISD), which is ranked 335 out of 961 districts in Texas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Memorial Middle has consistently been one of the top-performing middle schools in Texas, ranking in the top 2% of all Texas middle schools over the past 10 years. It has maintained a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger during this time period, indicating excellent academic performance. The school significantly outperforms the SBISD district and the state of Texas in STAAR test scores across all grade levels and subject areas, particularly in mathematics and Algebra I. Memorial Middle's performance is consistently high across all student subgroups, including female, male, Asian, African American, Hispanic, White, and multi-racial students, as well as English Language Learners, Special Education students, and economically disadvantaged students.

While Memorial Middle stands out as a top-performing school, the nearby schools within the SBISD district show a wide range of academic performance. For example, Northbrook Middle and Spring Woods Middle have significantly lower test scores and rankings compared to Memorial Middle. This highlights the importance of school-level factors, such as leadership, teaching quality, and resource allocation, in driving student outcomes, even within the same district. Additionally, Memorial Middle has a relatively low percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting that factors beyond socioeconomic status, such as school culture and instructional practices, play a crucial role in student success.

What people are saying

by a student
Tuesday, January 5, 2016

I am a student a Memorial Middle School, 7th year. My parents have lately been saying how smart I have become of this school. Sure, I seen a difference in my academic performance, and I'm not unhappy. The thing is, the teachers here REALLY put pressure on you. I'm not saying we have bad teachers, what I am saying is that they REALLY want us to succeed. My Language Arts teacher even told me that once. I rate this school five stars because of the nice community, teachers, fellow students,and much more. Basically, this school is home to me. Close Quote
