Hamilton J H

Summary:

Hamilton J H is a public middle school in Hamilton, Texas, serving 184 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Hamilton Independent School District, which is ranked 314 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hamilton J H has consistently performed above the state average in STAAR Reading and Mathematics assessments across grades 6-8, with particularly strong performance in Algebra I, where 100% of students scored proficient or better in the last two school years. However, the school's performance in STAAR Science and Social Studies for 8th grade has been below the state average. The school has maintained an impressive 0% dropout rate, but its per-student spending has decreased in recent years, which may impact its ability to maintain academic performance and support services.

While Hamilton J H has shown strong performance for female students, its performance for Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and Special Education students has been more variable or relatively weak, indicating a need to address equity and inclusion within the school. As the school's demographic composition shifts, with a decrease in White students and an increase in Hispanic students, the school may need to adapt its curriculum, instructional approaches, and support services to meet the needs of its changing student population.

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.
