Middle Schools in Luling Independent School District (Isd)

The Luling Independent School District (Isd) in Texas has only one middle school, Gilbert Gerdes J H, which has consistently underperformed compared to other middle schools in the state. Despite a relatively low student-teacher ratio, the school struggles with low proficiency rates in core academic subjects and serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population.

Gilbert Gerdes J H has ranked in the bottom half of Texas middle schools over the past three years, with a 1 or 2-star performance rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in STAAR tests are significantly lower than state averages, particularly in subjects like Science, Social Studies, and Mathematics. However, the school's performance in Algebra I End-of-Course exams is better, with a proficiency rate above the state average.

The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (85.81%) suggests that the school faces significant socioeconomic challenges that may be contributing to its academic struggles. While the school's low student-teacher ratio could be a potential strength, the district and school leadership should consider targeted interventions and support to address the identified areas of concern and improve student outcomes at Gilbert Gerdes J H.
