James Tippit Middle

Summary:

James Tippit Middle is a public middle school in Georgetown, Texas, serving 628 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Georgetown Independent School District, which is ranked 582 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While James Tippit Middle has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with higher percentages of Hispanic and African American students, the school's academic performance lags behind both district and state averages. Its 6th grade reading proficiency rate of 45.1% is lower than the district (45.62%) and state (54.45%) averages. The school also struggles with the performance of certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic, African American, and English Language Learner students, who consistently rank in the bottom quartile of Texas middle schools. Additionally, the school's Gifted and Talented program, as well as its Special Education and Economically Disadvantaged student populations, perform relatively poorly compared to other middle schools in the state.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Douglas Benold Middle and James Garland Walsh Middle in the Round Rock Independent School District, James Tippit Middle consistently underperforms across various academic metrics. Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher spending per student, the school's academic outcomes suggest a need for targeted interventions and a focus on improving educational opportunities for all students.

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.
