Middle Schools in Hemphill Independent School District (Isd)

Hemphill Independent School District (ISD) in Texas is home to a single middle school, Hemphill Middle. This school serves students in grades 6-8 and has a diverse student population, with a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students. While Hemphill Middle's academic performance has fluctuated in recent years, the school has shown some strengths, particularly in 8th-grade mathematics and science, but also areas that need improvement, such as 6th-grade mathematics.

Hemphill Middle's statewide ranking has ranged from 456 out of 2,254 Texas middle schools in 2021-2022 to 725 out of 2,330 in 2022-2023, indicating inconsistent performance. The school's STAAR test results are mixed, with some grades and subjects performing above the state average, while others struggle. For example, in 2023-2024, Hemphill Middle's 8th-grade students outperformed the state average in STAAR Mathematics and STAAR Science, but the school's 6th-grade students fell behind the state average in STAAR Mathematics.

Despite the fluctuations in academic performance, Hemphill Middle appears to be well-resourced, with a relatively low student-to-teacher ratio of 10.2 and per-student spending that exceeds the state average. However, the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (62.7%) suggests that the school may need to focus on providing additional support and resources to ensure these students have the opportunities they need to succeed.
