Post Middle

Summary:

Post Middle School is a public middle school in Post, Texas, serving 183 students in grades 6-8. The school has a diverse student population, with a majority of Hispanic students (64.48%) and a significant percentage of White students (26.23%).

Academically, Post Middle School faces significant challenges. The school's performance on STAAR (State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness) tests is well below the state average across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in STAAR Reading ranged from 30.91% (7th grade) to 36% (6th grade), compared to the state average of 52.08% to 54.45%. In STAAR Mathematics, the proficiency rates ranged from 10.2% (6th grade) to 32.73% (7th grade), significantly lower than the state average of 31.89% to 40.23%. The school's performance in STAAR Science (14.58% proficient) and STAAR Social Studies (8.33% proficient) for 8th grade also falls well below the state averages.

The school's challenges may be related to the high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 66.12% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year. Additionally, the school's ranking for low-socioeconomic status students is 2106 out of 2251 Texas middle schools, indicating that it serves a population with significant economic challenges. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with particularly low performance for English Language Learners.

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.
