Brenham J H

Summary:

Brenham J H is a public middle school serving grades 7-8 in the Brenham Independent School District (ISD) in Brenham, Texas, with a diverse student population of 763 students.

Brenham J H has consistently performed above the state average in several STAAR test subjects, including 8th grade Reading, 8th grade Science, and Algebra I End-of-Course exams. The school's White and Gifted and Talented student subgroups have also performed well, ranking in the top 30-40% of Texas middle schools. However, the school's performance for African American, Hispanic, English Language Learner, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status student subgroups has been relatively lower, ranking in the bottom 30-40% of Texas middle schools. Brenham J H also maintains relatively low dropout rates, ranging from 0.1% to 0.7% over the past several years, which is lower than the state average.

Compared to nearby schools, Brenham J H's performance is generally stronger than that of Hempstead Middle School, which is in a neighboring district and ranked in the bottom 5% of Texas middle schools. However, Brenham J H lags behind Bellville J H, another nearby middle school, in several academic metrics. Additionally, Brenham J H's student population is more racially diverse than Bellville J H, which has a higher percentage of White students and lower percentages of African American and Hispanic students. The performance gaps between racial subgroups at Brenham J H suggest that the school may need to focus on addressing the educational needs of its African American, Hispanic, and other underperforming student populations.

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.
