Henry Metzger Middle

Summary:

Henry Metzger Middle is a public middle school in San Antonio, Texas, serving 953 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Judson Independent School District, which is ranked 770 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite spending more per student than the state and district averages, Henry Metzger Middle consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas middle schools, with significantly below-average performance on STAAR assessments across all grade levels and subject areas. The school struggles to support the academic achievement of its diverse student population, with subgroups such as African American, Hispanic, English Language Learners, and Special Education students performing in the bottom quartile as well. Additionally, the school has experienced relatively high dropout rates in recent years, ranging from 0.1% to 1.9%.

When compared to other middle schools in the Judson ISD and nearby districts, such as Judson Middle and Woodlake Hills Middle, Henry Metzger Middle is clearly underperforming. However, the school has shown some bright spots, with higher proficiency rates in STAAR Algebra I and Biology End-of-Course exams compared to the state and district averages. This suggests that the school may be able to leverage these strengths to improve overall student achievement, particularly given the high concentration of students from low-income families that the school serves.

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.
