Summary:

Tornillo J H is a middle school located in Tornillo, Texas, serving grades 7-8 with a total enrollment of 182 students. The school is part of the Tornillo Independent School District, which is ranked 743 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Tornillo J H consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas middle schools, with a ranking between 1,678 and 2,185 out of 2,193 to 2,361 schools over the past several years. The school's performance on STAAR tests is significantly below the state average across all subject areas and grade levels, with only 13.46% of 7th-grade students proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to the state average of 52.08%. Tornillo J H's dropout rate is also higher than the state average, at 0.6% in the 2021-2022 and 2020-2021 school years, compared to the state average of 0.3% in 2021-2022.

While Tornillo J H has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.3 students per teacher and spends a relatively high amount per student at $12,407 in the 2020-2021 school year, these factors do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes. The school's performance is particularly low for English Language Learner (ELL) students and students with special education needs, and it is significantly lower than the nearby Salvador Sanchez Middle and Col John O Ensor Middle schools in the Socorro Independent School District, despite those schools having higher percentages 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.
