Momentum High School

Summary:

Momentum High School is a public high school in Houston, Texas, serving grades 8-12 with a total enrollment of 224 students. The school is part of the Spring Independent School District, which is ranked 776 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Momentum High School significantly underperforms compared to the district and state averages on STAAR end-of-course exams. For example, in 2023-2024, only 3.7% of Momentum High School students were proficient or better in Algebra I, compared to 22.38% for the Spring Independent School District and 44.73% for the state. The school also has a higher percentage of African American (55.8%) and Hispanic (35.27%) students compared to nearby schools like Spring High School and Westfield High School, which have more diverse student populations. Additionally, Momentum High School has a very high percentage of students (75%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Momentum High School ranks 1953 out of 1987 Texas high schools and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, making it one of the lowest-performing schools in the state. When compared to other high schools in the Spring Independent School District, such as Spring High School and Westfield High School, Momentum High School significantly underperforms on academic measures, with much lower proficiency rates and graduation rates. The combination of low academic performance, high poverty rates, and lack of resources (as indicated by the district's low ranking) suggests that Momentum High School faces significant challenges in providing a quality education to its students.

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.
