Holub Middle

Summary:

Holub Middle is a public middle school in Houston, Texas, serving 791 students in grades 7-8. The school is part of the Alief Independent School District, which is ranked 699 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Holub Middle faces significant academic challenges, with STAAR test scores consistently below state and district averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 33.14% of 7th-grade students were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 36.67% for Alief ISD and 52.08% for the state of Texas. The school has also consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas middle schools, earning a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Holub Middle's performance varies across different student subgroups, with relatively better results for African American and special education students, but struggles with Hispanic, English Language Learner, and low socioeconomic status students.

When compared to nearby schools within the Alief ISD, such as Olle Middle, Killough Middle, and Klentzman Intermediate, Holub Middle's academic challenges are not unique but rather a systemic issue within the district. In contrast, the performance of nearby KIPP and Harmony Public Schools charter schools is significantly stronger, suggesting that alternative educational models may be more effective in this area.

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.
