Summary:
The Lapoynor Independent School District (Isd) in Texas has only one middle school, Lapoynor J H, which serves students in grades 6-8. This small middle school faces some challenges, including declining academic performance and significant gaps in mathematics proficiency compared to state and district averages.
Lapoynor J H has a student population of 103, with a majority White student body (87.38%) and a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (59.22% receive free/reduced lunch). The school's performance on STAAR tests varies, with reading proficiency rates generally on par with or slightly above state and district averages, but mathematics proficiency rates significantly lower, particularly in 6th grade. Over the past three years, the school's statewide ranking has declined, and its SchoolDigger rating has decreased from 3 stars to 2 stars out of 5.
Despite having a relatively high per-student spending of $11,128 and a student-teacher ratio slightly lower than the state average, Lapoynor J H's academic performance suggests that the school and district may need to re-evaluate their resource allocation and strategies to address the identified areas of concern, particularly the significant gaps in mathematics proficiency. Addressing the socioeconomic challenges faced by the school's student population may also be a key factor in supporting student success and improving the overall performance of this middle school.
