Blooming Grove Jh

Summary:

Blooming Grove Jh is a middle school in Blooming Grove, TX that serves 225 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Ennis Independent School District (Isd), which is ranked 509 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Blooming Grove Jh faces several challenges, including below-average test scores compared to state averages, significant performance gaps between different student subgroups, and declining academic performance over the years. For example, the school's proficiency rates in STAAR Reading and Mathematics are lower than the state averages, and its Hispanic, English Language Learner, Special Education, and Gifted and Talented students all perform well below their peers. When compared to nearby middle schools like Alamo Middle and Rice Intermediate/Middle School, Blooming Grove Jh generally underperforms in terms of test scores and statewide rankings.

The school's high percentage of students (58.67%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, a proxy for low socioeconomic status, may contribute to its overall academic performance and the achievement gaps observed among different student subgroups. The school's leadership and the Ennis Independent School District (Isd) should prioritize addressing these issues through targeted interventions, resource allocation, and a focus on improving outcomes for all students, regardless of their background or demographic characteristics.

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.
