Hopper Middle

Summary:

Hopper Middle is a public middle school in Cypress, Texas, serving 930 students in grades 6-8. 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.

Hopper Middle faces significant academic challenges, consistently underperforming compared to the district and state averages in STAAR test scores across all grade levels and subject areas. The school's statewide ranking has steadily declined, from 984 out of 1987 Texas middle schools in 2013-2014 to 1849 out of 2361 in 2023-2024, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Hopper Middle's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as English Language Learners, Special Education students, and Low Socioeconomic Status students, who consistently rank in the bottom quartile of Texas middle schools. The school also has a higher dropout rate compared to the surrounding schools, ranging from 0.7% to 2.2% over the past few years.

In contrast, the nearby schools, such as Kahla Middle, Anthony Middle, and Rowe Middle, generally outperform Hopper Middle in academic metrics, statewide rankings, and student group performance. These schools have a more diverse racial composition and tend to serve a lower percentage of economically disadvantaged students. However, Hopper Middle's Gifted and Talented students perform relatively well, ranking in the top third of Texas middle schools, and the school's students excel in Algebra I, with proficiency rates significantly higher than the district and state averages.

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.
