Moorhead J H

Summary:

Moorhead J H is a public middle school located in Conroe, Texas, serving grades 7-8 with a student population of 1,391. The school is part of the Conroe Independent School District, which is ranked 215 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being part of a relatively high-performing district, Moorhead J H consistently underperforms the district and the state of Texas in STAAR test scores across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, Moorhead J H's proficiency rates in STAAR Reading for 7th and 8th grades were 39.37% and 40.11%, respectively, compared to the district's 62.67% and 64.2%, and the state's 52.08% and 54.09%. Similarly, in STAAR Mathematics, Moorhead J H's proficiency rates for 7th and 8th grades were 14.18% and 34.71%, respectively, compared to the district's 21.72% and 59.67%, and the state's 31.89% and 40.23%. The school's statewide ranking among Texas middle schools has been consistently low, ranging from 1106 out of 2252 in the 2020-2021 school year to 1634 out of 2361 in the 2023-2024 school year.

One potential contributing factor to Moorhead J H's academic struggles is its proximity to Grangerland Intermediate, a nearby 5th-6th grade intermediate school with significantly lower academic performance than Moorhead J H. This suggests that Moorhead J H may be receiving a disproportionately large number of students who are academically behind, which could be hindering the school's overall performance. Additionally, while Moorhead J H has maintained relatively low dropout rates, the increase in spending per student from $9,043 in 2018-2019 to $9,355 in 2020-2021 has not yet resulted in significant improvements in student outcomes, indicating that the school may need to examine how resources are being allocated and utilized to support student learning.

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.
