Hoffman Middle

Summary:

Hoffman Middle is a public magnet middle school located in Houston, Texas, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 637 students. The school is part of the Aldine Independent School District, which is ranked 790 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hoffman Middle faces significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance and high dropout rates. The school has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (75.67%) compared to the state average, as well as a lower percentage of White students (0.16%). Academically, Hoffman Middle consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas middle schools, with proficiency rates in STAAR Reading, Math, Science, and Social Studies well below the state and district averages. The school also struggles across various student subgroups, with its African American, Hispanic, English Language Learner, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status students all ranking in the bottom quartile of Texas middle schools.

Interestingly, Hoffman Middle's performance is significantly lower than the nearby schools in the Aldine ISD district, such as Garcia Middle and Houston Academy, as well as schools in other districts like Dean Middle and Black Middle. These nearby schools generally have higher academic proficiency rates, lower dropout rates, and better overall performance. Despite Hoffman Middle's relatively high spending per student, ranging from $11,336 to $13,881 per student over the past few years, the school's low academic performance suggests that the school may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation and instructional strategies.

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.
