Carrizo Springs J H

Summary:

Carrizo Springs J H is a public middle school serving grades 7-8 in the Carrizo Springs Consolidated Independent School District in Carrizo Springs, Texas. With a student population of 265, the school has a racial makeup that is predominantly Hispanic (95.09% in 2022-2023) and has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Texas middle schools by SchoolDigger, with a 2-star rating out of 5.

Carrizo Springs J H faces significant challenges, including lower-than-average test scores on the STAAR assessments across all subjects and grade levels, higher dropout rates than the state average, and a large majority of students (78.49% in 2022-2023) coming from low-income families and qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. While the school's performance is generally on par with or slightly better than the nearby Sterling H Fly Junior High School, both schools lag significantly behind the performance of the Carrizo Springs Intermediate School, which is in the same district but serves younger students (grades 4-6).

Interestingly, Carrizo Springs J H's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with the school's White students performing relatively well but the school's Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Special Education students all performing in the bottom quarter of Texas middle schools. Despite the school's relatively high spending per student ($12,458 in 2020-2021) and low student-teacher ratio (11.9 in 2022-2023), these factors do not seem to translate into improved academic outcomes, suggesting that other factors may be contributing to the school's challenges.

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.
