Moreno J H

Summary:

Moreno J H is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in Beeville, Texas, with a student population of 705. The school has a predominantly Hispanic student body (84.26%) and has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Texas middle schools by SchoolDigger, with a 1-star rating out of 5 for the past several years.

Moreno J H's academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is significantly lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in reading ranged from 41.94% to 45.75%, compared to the state averages of 52.08% to 54.45%. In mathematics, the school's proficiency rates were even lower, ranging from 9.2% to 27.98%, compared to the state averages of 31.89% to 40.23%. However, the school has relatively low dropout rates, ranging from 0.2% to 0.8% over the past several years, which is comparable to or slightly better than the nearby Skidmore-Tynan J H (0.0% in 2021-2022).

Moreno J H has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 84.54% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year, significantly higher than the 64.91% at the nearby Skidmore-Tynan Independent School District (Isd). While the school spends more per student ($9,633 in 2020-2021) compared to the state average, this does not seem to translate into better academic outcomes. The school's performance is also inconsistent across different student subgroups, suggesting that the school may need to focus on strengthening its curriculum, instructional practices, and support systems for struggling students, particularly in the area of mathematics.

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.
