Secondary Daep

Summary:

Secondary Daep is a small middle school in Houston, Texas that serves grades 6-8 and is part of the Houston Independent School District. With just 37 students, the school consistently ranks among the lowest-performing middle schools in the state, with proficiency rates on standardized tests that are significantly below district and state averages.

The student population at Secondary Daep is predominantly African American and Hispanic, with no White or Asian students, which is notably different from the more diverse nearby schools like Project Chrysalis Middle and Baylor College Of Medicine Biotech Academy At Rusk. Additionally, over 94% of students at Secondary Daep qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. Interestingly, the school has reported a 0% dropout rate, suggesting that it is effective at retaining its small student population, though this does not translate into improved academic outcomes.

Despite the school's low student-teacher ratio, which could potentially be leveraged as a strength, Secondary Daep continues to struggle with its academic performance. Collaboration with nearby high-performing schools or the Houston Independent School District could provide valuable insights and resources to help address the unique challenges faced by this school and support the success of its students.

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.
