Hodges Bend Middle

Summary:

Hodges Bend Middle is a public middle school in Houston, Texas, serving 849 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Fort Bend Independent School District, which is ranked 356 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hodges Bend Middle faces significant challenges compared to nearby schools. The school has a higher percentage of Hispanic (51.12%) and African American (28.15%) students, and consistently underperforms on STAAR tests across all grade levels and subject areas. The school's rankings for specific student subgroups, such as Hispanic, English Language Learners, and students with low socioeconomic status, are particularly low, often in the bottom quartile of Texas middle schools. Additionally, Hodges Bend Middle has seen a gradual increase in its dropout rates, from 0.1% in 2019-2020 to 1.1% in 2021-2022, which is higher than the nearby schools.

In contrast, the nearby schools, such as James Bowie Middle, Macario Garcia Middle, and David Crockett Middle, generally outperform Hodges Bend Middle on academic measures, with higher proficiency rates and better rankings. These schools have more diverse student populations and lower percentages of economically disadvantaged students. Despite the high spending per student at Hodges Bend Middle, ranging from $9,928 to $11,328 in recent years, and a relatively low student-teacher ratio, the academic outcomes do not reflect a commensurate level of 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.
