Rains J H

Summary:

Rains J H is a public middle school located in Emory, Texas, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 425 students. The school is part of the Rains Independent School District, which is ranked 703 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite spending significantly more per student ($9,822 in 2020-2021) compared to the state average, Rains J H consistently underperforms on STAAR assessments, with proficiency rates in reading and math 30-40 percentage points below the state average. The school struggles to support the academic achievement of several student subgroups, including African American, Hispanic, English Language Learners, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status students, all of which rank in the bottom 20% of Texas middle schools. Rains J H has also experienced higher dropout rates in recent years, ranging from 0.4% to 0.6%, compared to the state average of around 0.1%.

Rains J H's performance is concerning, as the school has seen a steady decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from the top 25% of Texas middle schools in 2015-2016 to the bottom 25% in recent years. This suggests the school is struggling to keep up with the academic progress of its peers, including C.B. Thompson Middle, Sulphur Springs Middle, and Edgewood Middle, all of which have higher test scores and better overall performance. The significant achievement gaps and equity concerns at Rains J H indicate the need for a comprehensive review and targeted interventions to improve outcomes for all students.

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.
