Humble Middle, Humble TX - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on Humble Middle

Humble Middle is a public middle school serving grades six through eight in Humble, Texas, within Harris County. The school has an enrollment of about thirteen hundred students, with roughly three-fourths of each grade level represented in the student body. A substantial majority of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. The student population is diverse: roughly six in ten students identify as Hispanic, about one-third identify as Black, and the remainder represent Asian, white, Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander, American Indian or Alaska Native, or multiracial backgrounds.

On the most recent state assessments, Humble Middle's proficiency rates are below the midpoint among districts in Harris County. In English language arts, between roughly one-third and one-third of students in each of grades six, seven, and eight demonstrated proficiency. Math proficiency is lower, particularly in grade seven, where only a small fraction of students scored at proficient levels or higher; performance improves in grade eight, where about one-third of students were proficient. In science, tested only in grade eight, about four in ten students met or exceeded the proficiency threshold. Social studies, also assessed only in grade eight, showed one-fifth of students proficient. Across all tested areas and grades combined, proficiency was measured at roughly one in three or four students. On the proficiency index that accounts for performance across all tested subjects and grades, the school sits below the midpoint relative to other districts in the county.

The data show how performance varies by subject and grade. English language arts is the strongest area, with a consistent third of students proficient across all grades. Math is notably weaker, with seventh grade as a particular area of challenge; the trend reverses in eighth grade. Science performance, at roughly four in ten, falls in the middle. Within Texas's STAAR assessment framework, when measured by the "meets grade level" standard alone, math and science each show roughly one-quarter to four in ten students, while social studies and English performance are somewhat higher.

The school serves a neighborhood where housing values and rental costs sit modestly below the Texas benchmark and well below the national average. The area has experienced a slight decline in home values and rents over recent months. Mortgage affordability is relatively accessible compared to national standards, and rents account for roughly one-quarter of household income by the area's estimate.

No data were available on English learner enrollment, special education enrollment, discipline, chronic absenteeism, or other school environment metrics. The district's strategic priorities or recent changes were not identified in available sources. A parent considering this school may want to connect with the school directly to understand current initiatives, support structures, and the specific supports available for any student needs.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
