Olton J H

Summary:

Olton J H is a public middle school in Olton, Texas, serving 140 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Olton Independent School District, which is ranked 607 out of 968 school districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Olton J H faces several challenges, including a significantly higher Hispanic student population (75-83.7%) compared to the state average, and academic performance that is generally below the state average across all grade levels and subject areas. The school's performance on standardized tests varies significantly across different student subgroups, with white students and English Language Learners tending to perform better than Hispanic students and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds. Additionally, Olton J H has experienced a higher dropout rate (1.0% in 2021-2022) than the state average.

Interestingly, the nearby Carr Middle School, which is part of the Hale Center Independent School District, shares some similarities with Olton J H, such as a high Hispanic student population and below-average academic performance. However, Carr Middle School's dropout rate and spending per student appear to be slightly better than Olton J H's, suggesting that the Olton school may need to explore additional strategies to support its diverse student population and improve learning outcomes.

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.
