Pleasanton J H

Summary:

Pleasanton J H is a public middle school in Pleasanton, Texas, serving 772 students in grades 6-8. The school faces several challenges, including below-average test scores, a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, and a rising dropout rate, but it also has some strengths in serving specific student populations.

Pleasanton J H's performance is generally lower than that of nearby middle schools, such as Losoya Middle, Julius L Matthey Middle, and Jourdanton J H, which tend to have higher test scores, better school rankings, and lower dropout rates. However, Pleasanton J H stands out for its relatively strong performance with Gifted and Talented students and English Language Learners, ranking in the top 25% of Texas middle schools in these subgroups.

While Pleasanton J H's spending per student has increased over the years, from $8,985 in 2018-2019 to $11,191 in 2020-2021, it's unclear if this increased funding has translated into improved academic outcomes. The school's Poteet Independent School District is ranked 664 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating the need for targeted interventions and improvements to support student success.

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.
