Truitt Middle

Summary:

Truitt Middle is a public middle school located in Houston, Texas, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 1,419 students. It is part of the Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District (CFISD), which is ranked 363 out of 968 school districts in Texas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Truitt Middle faces several key challenges, including a significantly higher Hispanic student population (65.12%) compared to the state average and nearby schools, as well as lower academic performance on STAAR tests across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the percentage of students proficient or better in STAAR Reading for 6th, 7th, and 8th grades was 44.52%, 48.81%, and 44.29%, respectively, compared to CFISD's 60.49%, 57.36%, and 60.34%. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with its Gifted and Talented students ranking in the top 226 out of 1,481 Texas middle schools, while its English Language Learner students ranked in the bottom 1,338 out of 1,720 Texas middle schools. Additionally, Truitt Middle has experienced a relatively high dropout rate, ranging from 0.2% to 1.1% over the past few years, which is higher than the state average.

Despite these challenges, Truitt Middle's Gifted and Talented program appears to be a bright spot, with the school ranking in the top 226 out of 1,481 Texas middle schools in this category in 2022-2023. Additionally, the school's students perform exceptionally well on the STAAR EOC Algebra I exam, with 97.5% of students scoring proficient or better in 2023-2024, significantly higher than the CFISD and state averages. However, when compared to other middle schools in the CFISD district, such as Aragon Middle, Truitt Middle generally performs worse academically, with lower STAAR test scores and lower rankings.

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.
