Thornton Middle

Summary:

Thornton Middle is a public middle school located in Katy, Texas, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 1,397 students. The school is part of the Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District (CFISD), which is ranked 363 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Thornton Middle faces significant academic challenges, consistently underperforming compared to the CFISD district and the state of Texas in STAAR test scores across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in STAAR Reading for 6th, 7th, and 8th grades was 47.86%, 41.09%, and 39.52%, respectively, compared to the CFISD district scores of 60.49%, 57.36%, and 60.34%. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as English Language Learners (ELL), Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status (SES) students. Additionally, Thornton Middle has experienced a higher dropout rate in recent years, ranging from 0.1% to 1.0%, compared to the surrounding schools in the CFISD district.

When comparing Thornton Middle to other middle schools in the CFISD district and the neighboring Katy Independent School District (KISD), it becomes evident that Thornton Middle is underperforming academically. For instance, Stockdick J.H. and Mayde Creek J.H. (both in KISD) consistently outperform Thornton Middle on STAAR tests, with higher proficiency rates across all subject areas. The high percentage of minority and low-income students at Thornton Middle, coupled with the school's lower academic performance, suggests that socioeconomic and demographic factors may be contributing to the challenges the school faces, and targeted interventions and support programs could be beneficial in addressing these disparities.

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.
