Summary:

Hillsboro Intermediate is a public middle school serving grades 4-6 in the Hillsboro Independent School District (ISD) in Hillsboro, Texas, with a diverse student population of 429 and a high percentage of students (80.65%) qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Hillsboro Intermediate consistently outperforms the state average on STAAR tests, with 55.22% of 4th-graders proficient in reading and 59.26% of 5th-graders proficient in math, compared to state averages of 50.66% and 48.96%, respectively. The school also has a relatively high per-student spending of $11,362 and a low student-teacher ratio of 12.9 to 1, which may contribute to its academic success. When compared to nearby middle schools like Grandview J.H. and Whitney Middle, Hillsboro Intermediate generally outperforms them on STAAR tests, particularly in reading and math.

However, the school has seen a decline in some areas, such as a drop in 4th-grade math proficiency from 29% in 2021-2022 to 19% in 2022-2023, which is significantly lower than the state average of 47%. Additionally, the high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch suggests that the school serves a predominantly low-income population, which may present unique challenges and opportunities for the school to continue supporting the academic success of its diverse student body.

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.
