Parkhill J H

Summary:

Parkhill J H is a public middle school in Dallas, Texas, serving 624 students in grades 7-8. The school is part of the Richardson Independent School District, which is ranked 403 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

Parkhill J H stands out for its diverse student population, with 44.23% White, 47.76% Hispanic, and 4.49% African American students. The school consistently performs in the top 25% of Texas middle schools, particularly excelling in reading, where 7th and 8th-grade proficiency rates exceed district and state averages. However, the school faces challenges in addressing the academic needs of its Hispanic and English Language Learner (ELL) student subgroups, which perform in the bottom 30% of Texas middle schools, in contrast to the exceptional performance of its White and multi-racial students.

Compared to nearby schools, Parkhill J H generally outperforms Richardson North J H and Richardson West Technology And Arts Magnet, but lags behind the higher-performing Plano ISD schools, such as Haggard Middle and Renner Middle. The school's relatively high percentage of students (43.43%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch may contribute to the performance gaps observed between different student subgroups.

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.
