Summary:

Detroit J H is a middle school located in Detroit, Texas, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 116 students. The school is part of the Detroit Independent School District, which is ranked 709 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Detroit J H has a significantly higher percentage of White students (84.48%) compared to the surrounding schools, its academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is generally lower than the state and surrounding district averages. The school's proficiency rates in reading, math, science, and social studies are all below the state and district averages. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students (65.52%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low socioeconomic status of the student population. However, the school has maintained a 0% dropout rate for the past several years, which is a positive metric.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Rivercrest J H, Chisum Middle, and Prairiland J H, Detroit J H generally underperforms in academic measures, such as STAAR test scores and statewide rankings. The school's declining performance, as measured by its statewide ranking and SchoolDigger star rating, suggests that it faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students, despite its relatively high spending per student.

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.
