Summary:
The Santa Fe Independent School District (Isd) in Texas has only one middle school, Santa Fe J H, which serves students in grades 6-8. Despite having adequate financial resources and a relatively low student-teacher ratio, this middle school has consistently underperformed academically compared to state averages across multiple subjects and grade levels.
Santa Fe J H's student population is diverse, with 70.37% White, 25.87% Hispanic, and smaller percentages of other racial/ethnic groups. However, the school serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged community, with over 51% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This socioeconomic factor may contribute to the school's academic challenges, as its proficiency rates on STAAR assessments range from as low as 17.95% in 8th grade Math to 68% in Algebra I End-of-Course, with most subjects falling below 50% proficiency.
While the school's per-student spending and student-teacher ratio suggest adequate resources, the consistent underperformance compared to state averages indicates that factors beyond just resource allocation may be influencing student achievement at Santa Fe J H. Further investigation into the specific challenges and strategies for improvement would be necessary to help this middle school better serve its diverse student population and the Santa Fe Independent School District (Isd) community.
