Hemphill Middle

Summary:

Hemphill Middle School is a public middle school in Hemphill, Texas, serving 252 students in grades 5-8. The school is part of the Hemphill Independent School District, which is ranked 286 out of 968 school districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hemphill Middle School has shown a mixed academic performance on state standardized tests (STAAR). While the school has performed well in certain subject areas, such as 8th-grade Mathematics and Algebra I, it has struggled in others, like 5th-grade Science and 6th-grade Mathematics. The school's Gifted and Talented students have performed particularly well, ranking 35th out of 1,481 Texas middle schools in this category. However, the school has struggled with its African American and White student populations, ranking 822nd and 895th, respectively, out of Texas middle schools. The school maintains relatively low dropout rates, ranging from 0.0% to 0.7% over the past five school years.

Hemphill Middle School has a higher per-student spending ($12,746 in 2020-2021) and a lower student-teacher ratio (10.2 in 2022-2023) compared to the state average, which may contribute to its academic performance. The school's inconsistent academic performance across different subject areas and grade levels suggests the need for a more targeted and comprehensive approach to improving student learning outcomes. Additionally, the school's racial disparities in performance highlight the importance of addressing any underlying factors that may be contributing to these achievement gaps.

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.
