Lamar Jh

Summary:

Lamar Jh is a public middle school in Rosenberg, Texas, serving 1,246 students in grades 6-8. While the school is part of the Lamar Consolidated Independent School District, which has a 4-star rating, Lamar Jh itself faces several challenges compared to nearby schools.

Lamar Jh has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic (51.93%) and African American (26.89%) students compared to nearby schools like Fort Settlement Middle, which tend to have more White and Asian students. Academically, Lamar Jh's performance on STAAR tests, especially in mathematics, is lower than nearby schools. For example, in 7th grade mathematics, only 13.11% of Lamar Jh students were proficient or better, compared to 30.9% at Fort Settlement Middle. Lamar Jh also ranks in the bottom half of Texas middle schools, placing it in the 2-star category on the SchoolDigger rating scale.

However, Lamar Jh does have some bright spots. The school has relatively low dropout rates, and its students perform exceptionally well on the STAAR EOC Algebra I exam, with 86.79% proficient or better. Additionally, Lamar Jh has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 17.8, which could be an advantage in providing more individualized attention to students. Despite these positive factors, the school faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with 70.79% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, and its overall academic performance lags behind nearby schools like Briscoe Jh and Reading Jh.

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.
