Redirect to Spring Branch Independent School District. The middle school's only claim to notability is that it was a National Blue Ribbon School 12 years ago. Almost 4% of schools in the US have gotten this "honor" (based in part on their own self-evaluations) - that's a fairly high percentage for a supposedly prestigious award. The topic does not meet the WP:GNG - there is no significant coverage in independent reliable sources. I checked the archives of the Houston Chronicle, which is the main newspaper for the area, and found only trivial mentions of the school - including not a single article on its National Blue Ribbon status.
