Jackson Intermediate

Summary:

Jackson Intermediate is a public middle school in Pasadena, Texas, serving 643 students in grades 7-8. The school is part of the Pasadena Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 562 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Jackson Intermediate consistently underperforms the Pasadena ISD and Texas state averages on STAAR tests, particularly in Reading and Mathematics. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 30.38% of 7th-grade students were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 44.21% for Pasadena ISD and 52.08% for Texas. However, the school excels in STAAR EOC Algebra I, with 94.17% of students reaching proficiency or better, significantly higher than the district (54.26%) and state (44.73%) averages. The school's predominantly Hispanic (94%) and economically disadvantaged (93% qualify for free/reduced-price lunch) student population may contribute to these challenges.

Compared to nearby schools within the Pasadena ISD, such as San Jacinto Intermediate and Queens Intermediate, Jackson Intermediate's academic performance is generally lower. However, the school outperforms the nearby The Summit (Intermediate) school, which is the lowest-performing middle school in the district. Additionally, the school's White students perform better than other racial/ethnic groups, while its African American and English Language Learner (ELL) students consistently rank among the lowest-performing subgroups in the state.

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.
