Summary:

John P Ojeda Middle is a public middle school in Austin, Texas, serving 821 students in grades 6-8 and part of the Del Valle Independent School District, which is ranked 878 out of 968 districts in the state.

Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio, John P Ojeda Middle consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas middle schools, with a ranking between 1,600 and 2,248 out of around 2,300 schools over the past 10 years. The school's performance is significantly below the state and district averages across all STAAR test subjects and grade levels, particularly for its African American, Hispanic, and economically disadvantaged student subgroups. In comparison, Del Valle Middle, which is in the same district, outperforms John P Ojeda Middle across most academic metrics.

John P Ojeda Middle has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (86.48%) compared to the surrounding schools and the state average, and an extremely high percentage of students (over 94%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. While the school's spending per student is on par with the surrounding schools, its consistently low academic performance suggests that the current level of resources and spending may not be sufficient to address the unique needs of its student population.

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.
