Edison Middle

Summary:

Edison Middle is a public middle school in Houston, Texas, serving 460 students in grades 6-8, with a predominantly Hispanic student population of 96.96%. The school is part of the Houston Independent School District (HISD), which is ranked 572 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Edison Middle consistently underperforms compared to HISD and Texas state averages on STAAR tests, with proficiency rates ranging from 35.76% to 41.09% in reading and significantly lower in mathematics. The school has a low statewide ranking, placing in the bottom quartile of Texas middle schools, and its performance varies greatly across different student groups. Edison Middle also experiences relatively high dropout rates, ranging from 0.8% to 4.4% in recent years, and has a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high concentration of economically disadvantaged students.

When comparing Edison Middle to other nearby schools in HISD, such as Baylor College of Medicine Biotech Academy at Rusk, it becomes clear that the school is underperforming compared to its peers. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students and English Language Learners at Edison Middle may be contributing factors to the school's lower academic performance, and the school's low statewide ranking and high dropout rates suggest that there are systemic challenges that need to be addressed. Targeted interventions and resources focused on improving academic achievement, student engagement, and support for underperforming student groups could potentially help the school make progress.

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.
