Summary:
The Galena Park Independent School District (ISD) in Texas is home to 5 middle schools that serve students in grades 6-8. These schools, located in a predominantly Hispanic and economically disadvantaged area, demonstrate a mix of academic performance, with some standout institutions and others struggling to meet state averages.
Among the top-performing middle schools in the district are North Shore Middle and Woodland Acres Middle, which consistently rank among the best in the state. These schools excel in subjects like math, science, and Algebra I, outpacing the district and state averages. In contrast, the other middle schools in the Galena Park ISD face challenges in meeting state standards, particularly in reading, math, science, and social studies.
The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 84.91% to 89.51%, suggests that the middle schools in the Galena Park ISD serve economically disadvantaged communities. This socioeconomic factor may contribute to the academic performance disparities observed across the district. However, the strong performance of North Shore Middle and Woodland Acres Middle demonstrates the potential for improvement, and identifying and sharing best practices from these standout schools could help elevate the overall academic outcomes for all students in the Galena Park ISD.
