Hanks Middle has a predominantly Hispanic student population, with 94.62% Hispanic students in the 2022-2023 school year.

Hanks Middle outperforms the Ysleta Independent School District and the state of Texas in several STAAR test subjects and grade levels, with higher proficiency rates in 6th grade Reading, 8th grade Mathematics, and Algebra I End of Course. The school's performance for its Hispanic and English Language Learner (ELL) student subgroups is particularly strong, ranking in the top half of Texas middle schools. Despite having a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, Hanks Middle has performed well for this subgroup, ranking in the top half of Texas middle schools.

While Hanks Middle's overall academic performance is solid, there are opportunities for improvement in certain student subgroups. The school's African American and White student subgroups have performed relatively lower, ranking in the bottom half of Texas middle schools. Identifying and addressing the root causes of these achievement gaps could help the school improve overall equity and outcomes. Additionally, the school's consistent performance in Reading and Mathematics, as well as its ability to support students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, are notable strengths that could provide valuable insights for other schools with similar demographics.

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.

2022	779	56.8	13.6	86.9

Data source: National Center for Education Statistics, U.S. Dept of Education.

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.
