Daingerfield J H

Summary:

Daingerfield J H is a public middle school in Daingerfield, Texas, serving 228 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Daingerfield-Lone Star Independent School District, which is ranked 758 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Daingerfield J H has a diverse student population, with 34.65% White, 37.28% African American, and 20.61% Hispanic students. However, the school's academic performance has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas middle schools, with a 1 or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Compared to nearby schools like Mount Pleasant J H, Pittsburg J H, and Chapel Hill J H, Daingerfield J H's test scores in reading, math, science, and social studies are significantly lower, often by 10-20 percentage points or more.

The school's high percentage of students (over 86%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch suggests a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Additionally, Daingerfield J H's data shows significant disparities in academic achievement between different racial/ethnic student groups, with African American and Hispanic students performing significantly worse than their White peers. While the school has maintained a 0% dropout rate, these challenges indicate that Daingerfield J H may need to implement targeted interventions and support programs to address the achievement gaps and improve overall academic performance.

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.
