Julius L Matthey Middle

Summary:

Julius L Matthey Middle is a public middle school in San Antonio, Texas, serving 604 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Southside Independent School District, which has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger and serves a predominantly Hispanic student population.

Despite the school's efforts, Julius L Matthey Middle has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas middle schools, with academic performance below state and district averages on STAAR tests. The school's struggles are particularly pronounced for certain student subgroups, such as African American, White, and Gifted and Talented students, who perform in the bottom 20% of Texas middle schools. Additionally, the school has seen a concerning increase in dropout rates, rising from 0.1% in 2018-2019 to 2.1% in 2020-2021, which is higher than the state and district averages.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Losoya Middle, Julius L Matthey Middle generally performs at a similar or slightly lower level academically. However, the school does show some strengths in supporting its large population of English Language Learner (ELL) students, ranking in the top 25% of Texas middle schools for this subgroup. Despite increased spending per student, from $10,197 in 2018-2019 to $12,049 in 2020-2021, the school's academic outcomes have not yet shown significant improvement.

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.
