Haltom Middle

Summary:

Haltom Middle is a public middle school in Haltom City, Texas, serving 954 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Birdville Independent School District, which is ranked 450 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Haltom Middle has a significantly higher Hispanic student population (79.25%) compared to surrounding schools, the school consistently underperforms on STAAR assessments across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, Haltom Middle's proficiency rates in reading (36-39%) and math (20-27%) are well below the Birdville ISD (53-55% in reading, 38-39% in math) and Texas state (52-54% in reading, 31-40% in math) averages. The school also struggles with its White, Hispanic, and Gifted and Talented student populations, who rank in the bottom half or bottom third of Texas middle schools. Additionally, Haltom Middle has seen a steady increase in its dropout rate, rising from 0.1% in 2018-2019 to 2.1% in 2021-2022, which is higher than the surrounding schools.

Interestingly, the nearby Watauga Middle and North Richland Middle, which are also part of the Birdville ISD, perform significantly better on STAAR assessments, often exceeding the district and state averages. This stark contrast in performance suggests the need for a closer examination of the resources, instructional practices, and targeted interventions at Haltom Middle to support its diverse student population and address the equity concerns highlighted by the school's subgroup performance.

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.
