Judson Middle

Summary:

Judson Middle is a public middle school located in Converse, Texas, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 1,259 students. The school is part of the Judson Independent School District, which is ranked 770 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Judson Middle faces several challenges, including a diverse and economically disadvantaged student population. The school has a higher percentage of Hispanic (54.88%) and African American (22.56%) students compared to the state average, and a high percentage (69.66%) of students who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. Academically, Judson Middle's performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is generally below the state and district averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in reading and math are significantly lower than the state averages. When compared to other nearby middle schools within the Judson Independent School District, such as Henry Metzger Middle and Kitty Hawk Middle, Judson Middle generally performs worse academically.

Interestingly, the data includes information about a nearby charter school, Idea Converse College Preparatory, which outperforms Judson Middle in academic measures, such as STAAR proficiency rates and SchoolDigger rankings, despite serving a similar demographic population. Additionally, Judson Middle's student-teacher ratio of 16.5 is higher than the nearby Randolph Middle School, which has a ratio of 15.0, and the school's per-student spending of $8,080 in 2020-2021 is lower than the state average, which may contribute to the school's academic struggles.

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.
