Jacksonville Middle

Summary:

Jacksonville Middle is a public middle school serving grades 7-8 in the Jacksonville Independent School District (ISD) in Texas, with a student population of 711 that is predominantly Hispanic (52.46%), followed by White (27.43%) and African American (15.33%) students.

Despite being a middle school in the region, Jacksonville Middle has consistently underperformed compared to state averages and nearby schools. Its academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is significantly below the state, with only 39.88% of 7th graders proficient or better in Reading (compared to 52.08% statewide) and just 16.06% of 7th graders and 11.89% of 8th graders meeting the Mathematics standard. The school's performance is particularly concerning for African American and Hispanic students, ranking in the bottom 10% of Texas middle schools for these subgroups. Additionally, Jacksonville Middle has maintained a higher dropout rate than the state average.

When comparing Jacksonville Middle to nearby schools, the contrast in academic performance is stark. For example, Whitehouse J.H., a middle school in the Whitehouse ISD, consistently outperforms Jacksonville Middle across all subject areas and grade levels, with proficiency rates that are 20-30 percentage points higher. The high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds (79.04%) and lower spending per student ($10,172 in 2020-2021) at Jacksonville Middle may be contributing factors to its poor academic performance, which has been declining over the years.

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.
