Northbrook Middle

Summary:

Northbrook Middle is a public middle school in Houston, Texas, serving 913 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Spring Branch Independent School District (SBISD), which is ranked 318 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Northbrook Middle faces significant challenges compared to other SBISD middle schools. The school has a student population that is over 94% Hispanic, significantly higher than the surrounding schools. Academically, Northbrook Middle consistently ranks in the bottom half of Texas middle schools, with 1-2 star ratings from SchoolDigger and STAAR test scores well below the SBISD and Texas state averages. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (over 90% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch) and relatively high dropout rates. Despite having a higher per-student spending level ($13,430 in 2020-2021) than other SBISD middle schools, Northbrook Middle's performance lags significantly behind schools like Memorial Middle and Cornerstone Academy, which consistently rank among the top schools in Texas.

While Northbrook Middle's performance for specific student subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students, is generally higher than its overall school ranking, the school's unique challenges suggest that targeted interventions and additional resources focused on addressing the needs of its predominantly Hispanic and economically disadvantaged student population could be crucial in improving the school's overall outcomes. When compared to middle schools in other nearby districts, such as Clifton Middle and Hoffman Middle, Northbrook Middle's performance is still relatively low, indicating that the school's challenges may not be solely due to its district affiliation.

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.
