Middle College H S At Hcc Gulfton

Summary:

Middle College H S At Hcc Gulfton is a small public high school in Houston, Texas, serving grades 9-12 and part of the Houston Independent School District. With a student population of just 123, the school has a predominantly Hispanic student body (87%) and a very high percentage (over 90%) of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating high levels of economic disadvantage.

Despite its small size, Middle College H S At Hcc Gulfton consistently underperforms compared to state and district averages, as well as nearby high schools like Energized For Stem Academy High School and Bellaire High School. The school ranks in the bottom 15-20% of Texas high schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating very low academic performance. Its four-year graduation rate has been consistently low, ranging from 40.5% to 52.5% over the past five years, and it has had high dropout rates, ranging from 15.9% to 28.5% during the same period.

In contrast, high-performing charter schools in the area, such as Yes Prep - Gulfton and Challenge Early College High School, significantly outperform Middle College H S At Hcc Gulfton across multiple measures, including test scores, graduation rates, and college readiness. Despite the school's low performance, its per-student spending is relatively high compared to the state and district averages, suggesting that additional resources alone may not be the sole solution to improving student outcomes.

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.
