Hot Wells Middle consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas middle schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance is significantly below the state and district averages across various STAAR assessments, including reading, math, science, and social studies. This is particularly true for the school's Hispanic, English Language Learner, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status student subgroups, which all rank in the bottom quartile of Texas middle schools. Hot Wells Middle also has a relatively high dropout rate of 2.7% and an extremely high percentage of students (95.48%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

When comparing Hot Wells Middle to other nearby schools within the SAISD district, such as Edgar Allan Poe STEM Dual Language Middle, Harris Middle, and Rogers Middle, the academic performance of Hot Wells Middle is consistently lower across all subject areas and grade levels. This suggests that the challenges faced by Hot Wells Middle may be systemic within the district, and addressing these issues will require a comprehensive approach to support the unique needs of the student population and improve the overall educational outcomes.

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.

Students eligible for free or discounted lunch at Hot Wells Middle

2022	417	28.7	14.4	97.1
2023	420	30.6	13.7	95.5

Data source: National Center for Education Statistics, U.S. Dept of Education.

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.
