Summary:
Dalhart Independent School District (ISD) in Texas has only one middle school, Dalhart J H, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school faces academic challenges, with declining performance on standardized tests and proficiency rates below the state average across various subjects and grade levels.
Dalhart J H has a total enrollment of 372 students, with a high percentage (65.32%) of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income student population. The school's racial makeup is 30.11% White, 0.81% African American, 67.47% Hispanic, 0.54% Native American, and 1.08% two or more races. Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.9 and higher-than-average per-student spending of $9,739, its academic performance has steadily declined, with its statewide ranking dropping from 962 out of 2,254 Texas middle schools in 2021-2022 to 1,737 out of 2,361 in 2023-2024.
The academic challenges faced by Dalhart J H suggest that the school may need to explore alternative strategies to effectively support its students' academic growth and achievement, particularly in addressing the needs of its low-income student population. Without comparative data from other schools in the Dalhart Independent School District (Isd) or the surrounding region, it is difficult to identify best practices or standout schools that could provide valuable insights for improvement.
