Jones Middle

Summary:

Jones Middle is a public middle school located in Humble, Texas, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 1,348 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.

Jones Middle faces significant academic and demographic challenges. The school has a much higher percentage of African American (43.18%) and Hispanic (49.33%) students compared to the state average and nearby schools like Timberwood Middle and Woodridge Forest Middle. Academically, Jones Middle consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas middle schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger and STAAR test scores that are significantly lower than the state and district averages across all subjects and grade levels. Additionally, 86.28% of Jones Middle students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.

While Jones Middle has relatively low dropout rates compared to the district average, the school's persistent academic challenges and demographic disparities suggest that factors such as access to resources, teacher quality, and student support services may be contributing to the school's struggles. Nearby schools like Teague Middle and Rickey C. Bailey Middle also face similar academic and demographic challenges, indicating that the issues faced by Jones Middle may be systemic within the broader region served by the Aldine Independent School District.

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.
