Alvarado J H

Summary:

Alvarado J H is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in the Alvarado Independent School District, with an enrollment of 845 students. The school's academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is generally below the state averages across most subjects and grade levels, and it has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas middle schools.

Despite these challenges, Alvarado J H has shown some strengths, such as its Algebra I proficiency rate, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages, reaching 100% in 2023-2024. Additionally, the school's special education and English Language Learner (ELL) students have performed relatively well, ranking above average for the district. However, the school's overall academic weaknesses, particularly in reading and mathematics, should be a priority for the district and school leadership.

Compared to nearby middle schools in the Mansfield, Burleson, and Joshua Independent School Districts, Alvarado J H's academic performance is generally lower. For example, Charlene McKinzey Middle in Mansfield and Tom and Nita Nichols Middle in Joshua both outperform Alvarado J H on STAAR tests and have higher school rankings.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
