W B Green J H

Summary:

W B Green J H is a public middle school located in La Feria, Texas, serving grades 7-8 with a student population of 454 and is part of the La Feria Independent School District.

While W B Green J H has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas middle schools, the school faces significant challenges in improving its academic performance, particularly for its large population of economically disadvantaged (84.8%) and English Language Learner (ELL) students. The school's performance on STAAR tests is below the state and district averages across most subjects and grade levels, though its Algebra I EOC exam results and the relatively strong performance of its special education students are bright spots. Comparing W B Green J H to nearby schools, such as Gutierrez Middle and Moises Vela Middle in the Harlingen Consolidated Independent School District, suggests that there may be opportunities to learn from their best practices and strategies for supporting student success.

Despite the school's high spending per student, which has increased from $10,997 in 2018-2019 to $12,821 in 2020-2021, the outcomes suggest that additional targeted interventions and support may be needed to drive better academic outcomes. The school's performance is generally below the state and district averages, but it has some bright spots, such as its Algebra I EOC exam results and the relatively strong performance of its special education students. Comparing W B Green J H to the nearby Noemi Dominguez Elementary, which has similar demographic and academic performance characteristics, highlights the need for the school to explore new strategies to improve student success.

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.
