Summary:
Ferris Independent School District (Isd) has only one middle school, Ferris J H, which serves a diverse and predominantly low-income student population. The school's academic performance, as measured by STAAR proficiency rates, is consistently below the state average across most subjects and grade levels, suggesting challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students.
Ferris J H's student population is 73.73% Hispanic, 15.59% White, and 8.81% African American, with 79.32% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income community. The school's per-student spending of $10,655 is in line with the state average, and it has a slightly lower student-teacher ratio of 12.8 compared to the state average.
Despite the school's consistent ranking around the 1,400-1,500 range out of over 2,300 Texas middle schools, its academic performance has remained relatively stable and below the state's standards. This suggests the need for targeted interventions and support to address the underlying factors contributing to Ferris J H's academic challenges, particularly in subjects like Mathematics, where proficiency rates are as low as 6.33%.
