Paul H Huber Junior High School consistently underperforms compared to the state and district averages in standardized test scores for English Language Arts and Mathematics. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 31% of 6th graders, 34% of 7th graders, and 29% of 8th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state averages of 43%, 41%, and 35%, respectively. The school's math proficiency rates are even lower, with only 13% of 7th graders and 16% of 8th graders meeting or exceeding standards, compared to the state averages of 30% and 28%. The school has also seen a steady increase in its dropout rates, from 1.2% in 2017-2018 to 3.2% in 2021-2022, which is higher than the state average.

The nearby Ray Borane Middle School, which is also part of the Douglas Unified School District, performs similarly to Paul H Huber Junior High School in terms of academic achievement and other key metrics. In contrast, the nearby Center for Academic Success #4 - Douglas 5-8, a public charter school, outperforms both Paul H Huber Junior High School and the district in academic achievement, particularly in Mathematics. This suggests that the school's charter status and potentially different educational approach may be contributing to its stronger performance.

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.
