East Chambers J H

Summary:

East Chambers J H is a public middle school in Winnie, Texas, serving 357 students in grades 6-8 as part of the Devers Independent School District. While the school consistently outperforms the state average in reading and Algebra I, it struggles in mathematics, and its statewide ranking has declined in recent years.

East Chambers J H has a diverse student population, with a higher percentage of Hispanic students compared to the state average. However, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Gifted and Talented students performing well but African American, Hispanic, and Special Education students performing below average. The school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch suggests a relatively high proportion of students from low-income families.

Compared to nearby middle schools, such as Devers JH, East Chambers J H consistently underperforms across various academic metrics, including STAAR Reading, Mathematics, and End-of-Course exams. Devers JH is also ranked significantly higher among Texas middle schools, indicating that the quality of education and student outcomes may be higher at that school. Addressing the identified equity concerns and improving the school's overall academic performance could help East Chambers J H better serve its diverse 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.
