Hughes Middle

Summary:

Hughes Middle is a public middle school located in Burleson, Texas, serving grades 6-8 with a student population of 944. It is part of the Burleson Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 245 out of 968 school districts in Texas and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Hughes Middle has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with higher percentages of Hispanic (29.13%) and African American (10.06%) students, its academic performance lags behind the district and state averages. For example, in 2023-2024, the percentage of students proficient or better in STAAR Reading was lower than the Burleson ISD averages across 6th, 7th, and 8th grades. Additionally, the school's ranking for Gifted and Talented students has declined in recent years, indicating a potential need to focus on supporting this student population. However, the school's dropout rates have been relatively low, ranging from 0.3% to 1.8% over the past few years.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Nick Kerr Middle and STEAM Middle, Hughes Middle generally performs lower on test scores, particularly in mathematics. This may be due to the school's relatively high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 36.1% to 48.94% over the past few years, suggesting a population with lower socioeconomic status. Despite these challenges, Hughes Middle's spending per student and student-teacher ratio are in line with the nearby schools, indicating that the school is allocating resources effectively.

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.
