Iltexas Houston Windmill Lakes Middle

Summary:

Iltexas Houston Windmill Lakes Middle is a public charter middle school serving grades 6-8 in Houston, Texas, with a student population of 458 that is predominantly Hispanic (80.13%).

Despite being part of the International Leadership of Texas (ILTexas) district, which is ranked 729 out of 968 districts in the state, Iltexas Houston Windmill Lakes Middle consistently underperforms academically compared to state and local standards. The school's proficiency rates on STAAR tests range from just 8.33% in 8th grade Math to 32.56% in Algebra I, far below the state averages of 40.23% and 44.73%, respectively. Additionally, the school has a very low statewide ranking, placing in the bottom 10% of Texas middle schools, and its performance is particularly poor for certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and Special Education students.

When compared to nearby public schools in the Pasadena Independent School District (ISD), Iltexas Houston Windmill Lakes Middle consistently underperforms on academic measures. For example, the school's 8.33% proficiency rate in 8th grade Math is significantly lower than the 41.35% average for Pasadena ISD schools. Despite being in operation for several years, the school has not shown significant improvement in its academic performance or statewide ranking, suggesting that it faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students, which may be exacerbated by the school's high poverty rates, with 79.69% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

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.
