Beatrice Mayes Institute Charter School, TX

Original Research by School Decision on Beatrice Mayes Institute Charter School

Beatrice Mayes Institute Charter School is a small, single-campus K-8 charter school in Harris County serving roughly a mid-sized student population across nine grades. The district encompasses one school and has remained stable in enrollment and staffing; no major curriculum changes or expansions have been documented in recent years.

The school serves a student body that is overwhelmingly Black, with a small number of Hispanic and multiracial students and almost no representation of other groups. Chronic absenteeism is notably low, placing the school in the top quartile among Harris County's districts. Per-pupil spending is in the middle-to-upper range for the county.

State testing data shows an uneven academic picture across grades and subjects. In English language arts, performance is strongest at the upper grades. Eighth grade shows strong results, while third grade sits notably lower. Fourth and fifth grade students attain proficiency at moderate rates. Sixth and seventh grades show solid performance overall. Math proficiency is weaker than ELA, with a striking dip at fourth and sixth grades but a recovery to stronger proficiency in eighth grade. Fifth grade math is the only middle-elementary grade approaching mid-range performance. Science proficiency at fifth grade is quite low; eighth grade science is notably higher. Fifth grade science, in particular, may warrant a parent's closer attention. Social studies data is available only for eighth grade, where proficiency is below the ELA and math rates.

The school's overall proficiency index places it above the midpoint among Harris County's districts, suggesting reasonable competitive standing within the county. However, the grade-by-grade variation, especially the troughs in fourth grade across subjects and the science weakness at fifth grade, suggests uneven instructional consistency or student support across the span. Parents considering this school may want to inquire directly about what accounts for the performance patterns at specific grade levels and what targeted support exists for students entering the lower-performing grades.

Since the school serves only K-8, there is no graduation rate or high school pathway data. No Title I status, free-or-reduced-price lunch data, special education enrollment, or English learner enrollment figures were available. Staff, course offerings, and attendance data beyond the chronic absenteeism metric were not provided. The school website location was not included in the available information.
