Miller Jordan Middle

Summary:

Miller Jordan Middle is a public middle school located in San Benito, Texas, serving around 640 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the San Benito Consolidated Independent School District, which is ranked 756 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Miller Jordan Middle faces significant challenges, with an overwhelmingly Hispanic student population (over 99%), consistently low academic performance (ranking in the bottom quartile of Texas middle schools), and struggles to support special student populations such as English Language Learners, Special Education students, and Gifted and Talented students. The school's dropout rates, while relatively low, are still higher than the state average. Additionally, over 90% of the students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

When compared to nearby middle schools, such as San Benito Riverside Middle and Berta Cabaza Middle, which are also part of the San Benito Consolidated Independent School District, Miller Jordan Middle is significantly underperforming. However, the school's students do perform exceptionally well on STAAR End-of-Course exams, particularly in Algebra I, Biology, and English I Reading, where proficiency rates often exceed 80% and even reach 100%. This suggests that the school may be more effective in supporting older students or that there are specific challenges in the earlier grades.

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.
