Summary:
The Hereford Independent School District (Isd) in Texas is home to two middle schools: Hereford J H and Hereford Preparatory Academy. While neither school stands out as exceptional, the data provides some interesting insights into the performance and demographics of these middle schools.
Academically, both Hereford J H and Hereford Preparatory Academy struggle, with significantly lower test scores compared to state averages in areas like STAAR/Reading, STAAR/Mathematics, and other subjects. However, Hereford Preparatory Academy does stand out with a much higher proficiency rate in STAAR EOC/Algebra I at 93.94%, compared to the district average of 35.09% and the state average of 44.73%. This suggests the school may be doing a better job in preparing students for advanced math courses.
Demographically, the schools have similar student-teacher ratios, but Hereford J H has a higher percentage of Hispanic students (90.65%) compared to Hereford Preparatory Academy (86.62%). Both schools also have a high percentage of students from low-income families, with over 80% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This high poverty level may be a contributing factor to the overall low academic performance across the district's middle schools.
