Harry S Truman Middle

Summary:

Harry S Truman Middle is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in Grand Prairie, Texas, which is part of the Grand Prairie Independent School District. The school has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 9.73% White, 28.96% African American, 50.53% Hispanic, 6.34% Asian, and 4.44% two or more races.

Despite the school's diverse student body, Harry S Truman Middle consistently underperforms compared to the district and state averages on STAAR tests, with proficiency rates in reading, math, science, and social studies significantly lower than nearby schools like Ymla At John F Kennedy Middle and Ronald W Reagan Middle. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with African American and multi-racial students performing relatively better than their Hispanic, White, and English Language Learner peers.

Additionally, Harry S Truman Middle has experienced a higher dropout rate compared to the district and state averages, reaching 1.6% in the 2021-2022 school year. The school also has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 78.44% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year. Despite the school's higher spending per student compared to nearby schools, these challenges suggest that targeted interventions and support may be necessary to improve the overall educational outcomes at Harry S Truman Middle.

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.
