White J H

Summary:

White J H is a public middle school located in Mission, Texas, serving 847 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Mission Consolidated Independent School District, which is ranked 527 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating. The student population at White J H is 100% Hispanic, with no other racial or ethnic groups represented.

Academically, White J H consistently ranks in the bottom half of Texas middle schools, with significantly below-average performance on STAAR tests across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the percentage of students proficient or better in STAAR Reading ranged from 45-53%, compared to the state average of 52-54%. In mathematics, White J H's proficiency rates are even lower, ranging from 26-32%, compared to the state average of 31-40%. However, the school does have a 100% proficiency rate on the STAAR Algebra I End-of-Course exam, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages. White J H also has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (90-91%) and English Language Learners, which likely contributes to its academic challenges.

Interestingly, the nearby schools within the Mission CISD district, such as Rafael A Cantu J H and Alton Memorial J H, have similar demographic profiles and academic performance to White J H. However, some schools in the neighboring La Joya ISD, such as Memorial Middle and Irene M Garcia Middle, perform significantly better on STAAR assessments, with proficiency rates closer to or above the state average in many subjects. Additionally, the Idea Palmview College Preparatory charter school, located about 3 miles from White J H, also has higher academic performance than the school, particularly in reading and mathematics.

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.
