Stratford J H

Summary:

Stratford J H is a public middle school in Stratford, Texas, serving 163 students in grades 5-8. The school is part of the Stratford Independent School District, which is ranked 308 out of 968 school districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Stratford J H has shown mixed academic performance on the STAAR tests, with the school outperforming the state average in reading for grades 6-8 but underperforming in mathematics and science. The school's performance has fluctuated over the past few years, and there are also variations in the performance of different student subgroups. However, the school has maintained a 0% dropout rate for the past five years, which is significantly lower than the state average. Additionally, the school has seen an increase in spending per student, from $11,453 in 2018-2019 to $12,690 in 2020-2021, and the student-teacher ratio has ranged from 9.9 to 11.3 over the past few years.

One notable finding is the increase in the percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, from 57.3% in 2020-2021 to 63.19% in 2022-2023, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. This demographic shift could have implications for the school's resource allocation and support services. Overall, Stratford J H appears to have both strengths and challenges, and a closer examination of the school's practices and support systems could help address any achievement gaps and ensure equitable educational opportunities for all 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.
