Summary:
The Ennis Independent School District (ISD) in Texas is home to two middle schools, Ennis J.H. and Alamo Middle, serving students in grades 6-8. These schools have a diverse student population, with a majority Hispanic enrollment, and face challenges in academic performance, particularly in reading and math proficiency.
Ennis J.H. stands out for its exceptional Algebra I end-of-course proficiency rates, which are significantly higher than the district and state averages. However, the school's overall academic performance in reading, math, science, and social studies for 7th and 8th grades is lower than the state average. In contrast, Alamo Middle has slightly better reading proficiency rates in 6th grade, but lower math proficiency compared to the state average.
Both schools have a high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, suggesting a need for additional support and resources for economically disadvantaged students. The lower student-teacher ratios at both schools compared to the state average may be a positive factor in providing more individualized attention and support for students. Overall, the data highlights the need for further investigation into the factors contributing to the academic performance disparities between the two schools, as well as the importance of ensuring equitable opportunities for all students within the Ennis Independent School District (Isd).
