Southmore Intermediate

Summary:

Southmore Intermediate is a public middle school in Pasadena, Texas, serving 687 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.

Southmore Intermediate faces significant challenges compared to the surrounding schools and state averages. The school has a much higher percentage of Hispanic students (93.74%) and consistently underperforms on STAAR tests across all grade levels and subject areas. In fact, Southmore Intermediate has been ranked in the bottom 25-35% of middle schools in Texas for the past several years. While the school performs relatively well for its African American and multi-racial students, it struggles significantly with its Hispanic, White, and English Language Learner (ELL) populations. Additionally, Southmore Intermediate has experienced higher dropout rates than the state average.

However, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio and strong performance on the STAAR EOC Algebra I exam suggest that there may be opportunities for targeted interventions and collaboration with higher-performing schools within the Pasadena ISD, such as Marshall Kendrick Middle and Park View Intermediate, to help improve overall student outcomes at Southmore Intermediate.

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.
