Middle Schools in Pampa Independent School District (Isd)

The Pampa Independent School District (Isd) in Texas has only one middle school, Pampa J H, which serves a diverse student population with a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students. The school's academic performance, as measured by state assessments, consistently lags behind the state averages, and it has been ranked in the bottom half of Texas middle schools over the past three years.

Pampa J H's student body is 43.63% White, 50.27% Hispanic, and 3.25% African American, with a significant 66.8% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. The school's STAAR test scores in reading, math, science, and social studies all fall below the state averages, with proficiency rates ranging from 25% to 46% compared to the state's 31% to 56%. This underperformance is reflected in the school's consistently low statewide ranking, between 1305 and 1628 out of around 2,250 to 2,330 middle schools, and its 1 or 2-star SchoolDigger rating, indicating below-average performance.

Despite the school's academic challenges, it appears to have a relatively favorable student-to-teacher ratio of 13.5, suggesting that the district may be allocating resources to maintain smaller class sizes. However, this resource allocation has not been sufficient to overcome the school's broader academic struggles, which may be influenced by the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students. Addressing these challenges will likely require a comprehensive approach, including targeted interventions, resource allocation, and community engagement, to improve student outcomes and the overall performance of Pampa J H.
