The Baylor College of Medicine Academy at Ryan is a specialized middle school that prepares students for careers in healthcare and medicine. This Houston ISD school serves 385 sixth through eighth graders at 2610 Elgin Street in the Third Ward area. The academy partners with Baylor College of Medicine to give students early exposure to medical careers through hands-on science labs, health education, and mentorship programs. Students learn about human anatomy, medical research, and healthcare careers while getting a strong foundation in core subjects like math, reading, and social studies. The school matters because it opens doors to high-paying healthcare jobs that our community needs. Houston is home to the world's largest medical center, and we need local students prepared for these opportunities. Students who attend specialized academies like this often continue to health science high schools and medical programs. The academy serves families in Third Ward, Midtown, and nearby neighborhoods. Students receive free breakfast and lunch, after-school activities, and college preparation support. Parents can visit the school to learn about enrollment, which happens through Houston ISD's school choice process.
