Hawley Middle

Summary:

Hawley Middle is a public middle school in Hawley, Texas, serving around 200 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Hawley Independent School District, which is ranked 611 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Hawley Middle struggles, with STAAR test scores consistently below the state average across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the percentage of students proficient or better in STAAR Reading ranged from 36.51% for 6th grade to 46.75% for 8th grade, compared to the state averages of 54.45%, 52.08%, and 54.09%, respectively. The school also performs below the district average in most cases. However, Hawley Middle does perform relatively well for special education students, ranking in the top 20% of Texas middle schools in 2022-2023. Conversely, the school struggles for other subgroups, such as white students, Hispanic students, and gifted and talented students, where it ranks in the bottom 25% of Texas middle schools.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Wylie East J.H., Hawley Middle generally performs worse academically. Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio and increased spending per student over the years, these factors have not translated into significantly better academic outcomes for the school. Addressing these academic performance issues should be a priority for Hawley Middle and the Hawley Independent School District to ensure that all students receive a high-quality education.

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.
