Summary:

Harry Wright Jh is a public middle school located in Richmond, Texas, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 1,316 students. The school is part of the Lamar Consolidated Independent School District, which is ranked 213 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Harry Wright Jh faces several challenges, including lower academic performance, particularly in mathematics, and a higher percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds compared to nearby schools like Briscoe Jh and Reading Jh. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with stronger results for African American students but weaker results for White, Hispanic, and special education students. For example, in 8th grade STAAR Reading, only 51.15% of students at Harry Wright Jh scored proficient or better, compared to 68.54% at Briscoe Jh and 79.32% at Reading Jh.

Despite these challenges, Harry Wright Jh has a relatively low dropout rate of 0.9% in 2021-2022, which is comparable to the nearby schools in the district. However, the school has a higher student-teacher ratio of 20.9 in 2022-2023, compared to 22.4 at Briscoe Jh, 19.9 at Reading Jh, and 18.0 at Lamar Jh. Addressing the disparities in academic performance and improving overall achievement should be key priorities for the school and the Lamar Consolidated Independent School District.

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.

2022	1233	68.6	17.9	74.7

Data source: National Center for Education Statistics, U.S. Dept of Education.

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.
