Summary:

Arp J H is a public middle school located in Arp, Texas, serving grades 6-8 with a student population of 219 and is part of the Arp Independent School District.

While Arp J H has a higher percentage of White students compared to the state average, its academic performance on STAAR tests is generally below the state average, with proficiency rates ranging from 15.66% to 54.43% across different grade levels and subjects. The school's statewide ranking has declined from 426 out of 1,987 Texas middle schools in 2013-2014 to 1,588 out of 2,361 in 2023-2024. Arp J H's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with the school struggling to support its special education, English language learner, and low-income student populations. However, the school stands out for its strong performance in Algebra I, with proficiency rates significantly higher than the district and state averages.

Compared to nearby schools like Whitehouse J H and Troup Middle, Arp J H's performance is generally lower, with these schools having higher academic proficiency rates and statewide rankings. Additionally, Arp J H faces significant racial disparities in student performance, with White and African American students generally outperforming Hispanic and multi-racial students. While the school maintains a 0% dropout rate, it will need to address the needs of its diverse student population and improve overall academic proficiency to better serve the community.

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.
