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.

Open Quote Westlake Middle School in Humble, Texas is the worst administration I've ever encountered! No wonder they are at the bottom of the list as far as academics and statistics government ratings. The staff at this ISD is horrible from the head principal straight up and down to whomever at that entry window when you enter the building. They need to start all over and hire all new staff. And can somebody tell them to at least smile or at least fake it. They don't even recognize the students by greeting them in a friendly way. No one smiles and they walk around as if a stick is stuck far up their behinds! I guess everyone wakes up on the wrong side of the bed everyday! This certainly is not my type of environment. If I would had known this school was this pitiful I never would had picked to reside in this area. Humble ISD I guess you will never be at the top at least not in my books.
And what is up with trying to get your child in the school. It took forever to get my child in that funky school with the crazy different policies they have. It is not all that at all.
Westlake Middle School, look in the mirror and fix yourself and your cult of a staff because You Suck!!!
-Zero stars for me!! Close Quote

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.
