Energized for STEM Academy Middle

Energized for STEM Academy Middle sits in the Braeburn area of southwest Houston, a diverse and working-class neighborhood that's quietly become home to a range of specialty and magnet programs. The school leans into its STEM identity most visibly in math, where it outperforms a solid chunk of the state, though English and science scores suggest there's still growth ahead — making it a better fit for families drawn to the STEM focus rather than those seeking across-the-board academic rankings. For parents in the 77074 zip code looking for a school with a clear identity and a pathway toward science and tech thinking, it's worth a closer look.
