Francisco Pancho Medrano J H

Summary:

Francisco Pancho Medrano J H is a public middle school located in Dallas, Texas, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 717 students. The school is part of the Dallas Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 557 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite serving a predominantly Hispanic student population (92.33%), Francisco Pancho Medrano J H consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas middle schools, with significantly below-average performance on STAAR tests across all grade levels and subject areas. The school's dropout rates are also higher than the state average, ranging from 1.6% to 3.7% over the past 5 years. Notably, the school's performance varies greatly across different student subgroups, with English Language Learners and students with special needs struggling the most, while "Gifted and Talented" students perform relatively better, though still below state averages.

Interestingly, nearby schools in the Dallas ISD have similar demographic profiles and academic performance to Francisco Pancho Medrano J H, while some schools in other nearby districts, such as Uplift Education-North Hills Prep Middle and Sudie L Williams Talented And Gifted Academy, significantly outperform the school and the Dallas ISD average. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students and English Language Learners at Francisco Pancho Medrano J H may be contributing to the school's low academic performance, but the school's relatively strong performance on the Algebra I end-of-course exam suggests opportunities for improvement in other subject areas.

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.
