Olle Middle

Summary:

Olle Middle is a public middle school in Houston, Texas, serving 1,067 students in grades 7-8. The school is part of the Alief Independent School District, which is ranked 699 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Olle Middle has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Texas middle schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Olle Middle faces significant challenges, including a student population that is 74.23% Hispanic, well above the state average, and a very high percentage (89.69%) of students who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. Academically, the school's performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is consistently below the district and state averages across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, only 29.54% of 7th-grade students were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 36.67% for the district and 52.08% for the state. The school has also had relatively high dropout rates in recent years, ranging from 0.2% to 1.4%, which are higher than the state average.

While Olle Middle faces significant challenges, there are some bright spots. The school's Gifted and Talented program has shown some promise, with the school ranking in the top 35% of Texas middle schools for this subgroup in recent years. Additionally, the school's African American students have performed relatively well, ranking in the top 40% of Texas middle schools in recent years, while the school's Asian and White students have performed much worse, ranking in the bottom 25% of schools. Nearby schools within the Alief ISD, such as Killough Middle, Youngblood Intermediate, and Mata Intermediate, have higher STAAR test scores and better overall rankings from SchoolDigger, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes at Olle Middle.

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.
