Mineral Wells J H

Summary:

Mineral Wells J H is a public middle school serving grades 7-8 in the Mineral Wells Independent School District, with a student population of 498 that is predominantly White (50.4%) and Hispanic (39.76%). Despite the school's efforts, Mineral Wells J H has consistently underperformed, ranking in the bottom half of Texas middle schools with a 2 out of 5 star rating for the 2023-2024 school year.

One of the key challenges facing Mineral Wells J H is its low academic performance, with students consistently scoring below the state average on STAAR tests across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, only 38.14% of 7th graders were proficient in reading, compared to the state average of 52.08%. The school also struggles in math, with only 10.91% of 7th graders and 43.39% of 8th graders meeting proficiency standards. However, the school has maintained very low dropout rates, ranging from 0.0% to 0.5% over the past several years, which is a positive metric that sets it apart from the state average.

When compared to nearby middle schools, such as Brock J H, which is part of the Brock Independent School District, Mineral Wells J H generally underperforms. Brock J H consistently outperforms Mineral Wells J H on STAAR tests and has a much higher 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. Additionally, Mineral Wells J H is part of the Mineral Wells Independent School District, which is ranked 785 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, suggesting that district-level challenges may be contributing to the school's overall performance.

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.
