Summary:
The Waxahachie Independent School District (ISD) in Texas is home to three middle schools: Coleman J H, Finley J H, and Howard J H. These schools serve students in grades 6-8 and provide a diverse educational experience within the Waxahachie ISD.
Among the three middle schools, Coleman J H stands out as the highest-performing, consistently ranking higher than the other two schools and outperforming the district and state averages in several STAAR test subjects, particularly in 8th grade Mathematics and Algebra I End of Course. Howard J H also demonstrates exceptional performance in Algebra I End of Course, with 98.48% of students proficient or better, and strong 6th grade Reading scores.
While the three schools share similar racial compositions, with a majority of White and Hispanic students, they face socioeconomic challenges, with around 50% or more of their students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests that the district may need to address these challenges to support student learning and achievement across all three middle schools, as they generally underperform the state averages in STAAR Reading, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies. Targeted interventions and support could help address the disparities observed and ensure that all students in the Waxahachie ISD middle schools receive a high-quality education.
