Azle J H South

Summary:

Azle J H South is a public middle school serving grades 7-8 in the Azle Independent School District in Azle, Texas. With a student population of 584, the school has a predominantly White (69.18%) student body, with significant Hispanic (23.12%) and multi-racial (5.48%) representation.

Azle J H South has shown strong academic performance, particularly in STAAR/Algebra I End of Course exams, where the school has consistently outperformed the district and state averages. However, the school's performance across different student subgroups varies significantly. While the school performs well for Gifted and Talented students, ranking 434 out of 1,481 Texas middle schools in 2022-2023, it struggles with its African American and White student populations, ranking 1,091 and 1,040 out of their respective state subgroups in the same year. This suggests the need for targeted interventions and support to address these achievement gaps.

Compared to nearby schools within the Azle Independent School District, Azle J H South generally performs on par or slightly better in academic measures. However, when compared to higher-performing districts in the region, such as Eagle Mt-Saginaw ISD and Northwest ISD, Azle J H South still has room for improvement. The school's investment in resources and staffing, with an increase in spending per student and a decrease in student-teacher ratio, suggests a commitment to improving student outcomes.

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.
