Jose J Alderete Middle

Summary:

Jose J Alderete Middle is a public middle school in Canutillo, Texas, serving 595 students in grades 6-8. This school stands out for its strong academic performance, particularly among its Hispanic and English Language Learner (ELL) student populations.

Alderete Middle outperforms both the Canutillo Independent School District and the state of Texas on several key STAAR tests, including 8th-grade math and science, Algebra I, and English I. The school also maintains a low dropout rate, well below the state average. However, Alderete Middle struggles to support its Special Education and Gifted and Talented students, ranking in the bottom 25% of Texas middle schools for these subgroups.

Compared to nearby schools, Alderete Middle generally outperforms other middle schools in the Canutillo Independent School District and the El Paso Independent School District. But the school lags behind the high-performing Idea Mesa Hills College Preparatory charter school in several academic areas. With a relatively low student-teacher ratio and high per-student spending, Alderete Middle's strengths may be attributed to its effective support for its unique student population.

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.
