Gentry J H

Summary:

Gentry J H is a public middle school in Baytown, Texas, serving 997 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Goose Creek Consolidated Independent School District, which is ranked 706 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Gentry J H faces several challenges, including a significantly higher Hispanic student population (60.18%) compared to the state average, and academic performance that is generally below the state and district averages across most subjects and grade levels. The school's proficiency rates in reading and math were 36-49% and 29-41%, respectively, in 2023-2024, compared to the state averages of 52-54% and 31-40%. Gentry J H's rankings for specific student subgroups, such as English Language Learners, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status students, are also a concern. However, the school stands out in its Algebra I end-of-course exam, with proficiency rates consistently above 90% in recent years, significantly outperforming the district and state averages.

Compared to nearby schools within the same district, such as Baytown J H, Highlands J H, and Horace Mann J H, Gentry J H's performance is generally lower, with these schools having higher academic proficiency rates and better rankings. Additionally, Gentry J H's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past few years, from 683 out of 2,193 Texas middle schools in 2018-2019 to 1,554 out of 2,330 in 2022-2023, indicating a need for improvement.

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.
