C E King Middle

Summary:

C E King Middle is a public middle school located in Houston, Texas, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 1,311 students and is part of the Sheldon Independent School District.

C E King Middle faces significant challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom quartile of Texas middle schools over the past decade. The school's performance on STAAR tests is significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas, particularly in mathematics where proficiency rates range from just 7.14% to 25.41% compared to the state average of 31.89% to 40.23%. Dropout rates at the school have also been relatively high in recent years, ranging from 0.3% to 1.5%, higher than the state average. With around 90% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, the school serves a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, which likely contributes to its academic struggles.

Nearby schools, such as Woodcreek Middle, Forest Brook Middle, and Michael R Null Middle, generally perform better than C E King Middle on academic measures, with higher proficiency rates on STAAR tests and higher statewide rankings. Additionally, the KIPP Polaris Academy for Boys and KIPP Voyage Academy for Girls, both public charter schools in the area, also outperform C E King Middle despite serving a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged 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.
