Alvin J H

Summary:

Alvin J H is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in the Alvin Independent School District (ISD) in Alvin, Texas. The school has a diverse student population, with 36.41% White, 56.44% Hispanic, and 4.29% African American students.

While Alvin J H has been consistently ranked in the middle range of Texas middle schools, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger in recent years, the school faces some academic challenges. Its STAAR test scores are generally lower than the Alvin ISD and Texas state averages across various subjects and grade levels, particularly in math. However, Alvin J H excels in Algebra I, with 95.74% of students scoring proficient or better, significantly higher than the district (50.25%) and state (44.73%) averages. The school's African American and Special Education students perform relatively well compared to their peers in the state, but its Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Low Socioeconomic Status students tend to perform below the state averages for those subgroups.

Compared to nearby schools, Alvin J H's performance is generally lower than the Manvel J H and Fairview J H, which are also part of the Alvin ISD. However, Alvin J H outperforms the more distant Santa Fe J H (in the Santa Fe ISD) and the Creekside Intermediate and Brookside Intermediate schools (in the Clear Creek ISD) in terms of test scores and overall rankings.

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.
