Summary:

Lucy Aragon J H is a public middle school located in Freer, Texas, serving 190 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Freer Independent School District, which is ranked 769 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Lucy Aragon J H struggles, with proficiency rates on STAAR tests consistently below state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. The school's performance has been in the bottom half of Texas middle schools, and its Gifted and Talented program is particularly weak, ranking in the bottom 20% statewide. Additionally, the school has experienced relatively high dropout rates, ranging from 0.8% to 2.2% over the past few years.

Despite the school's high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio, these resources do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes. The school faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with 83.16% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. While the school's performance varies across different student subgroups, the data suggests that the district and school leadership may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address these issues and improve student outcomes at Lucy Aragon J H.

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.
