Katherine H Hankins Middle School has a diverse student population, with 52.97% White, 26.86% African American, and 12.25% Hispanic students. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by Summative Assessment proficiency rates, is generally lower than the state and county averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, the school's 6th-grade math proficiency rate was 10.08%, compared to the state average of 31.56% and the county average of 23.77%. The school's rankings for different student subgroups also vary significantly, with the school ranking highly for English Language Learners and Homeless students, but much lower for Asian and White students.

Compared to nearby schools in the same district, Katherine H Hankins Middle School generally performs worse academically, with lower proficiency rates in core subjects. However, it outperforms some of the more disadvantaged schools, such as Booker T. Washington Middle School and Pillans Middle School, which have even lower academic outcomes. The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students and its relatively low academic performance suggest potential areas for improvement, such as targeted interventions and resource allocation to address the unique needs of the student population.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
