Stelle Claughton Middle

Summary:

Stelle Claughton Middle is a public middle school in Houston, Texas, serving 912 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Spring Independent School District, which is ranked 776 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Stelle Claughton Middle faces significant challenges, with a student population that is predominantly Hispanic (58.22%) and African American (34.54%), and over 90% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. The school consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of Texas middle schools based on the statewide SchoolDigger rankings, and its performance on STAAR tests is well below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subjects. Additionally, the school has experienced higher dropout rates in recent years, ranging from 0.2% to 1.8%, which is above the state average.

When compared to nearby schools, Stelle Claughton Middle underperforms its peers. For example, in 8th grade STAAR Reading, the school's proficiency rate was 35.74%, compared to 45.07% for the Spring ISD and 31.82% for the Aldine ISD. The school's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, with Hispanic and African American students, as well as English Language Learners and Special Education students, ranking in the bottom 10-20% of their respective subgroups statewide. Despite the school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, its per-student spending has increased, suggesting that additional resources have not translated into improved academic 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.

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.
