Summary:
The Iraan-Sheffield Collegiate Independent School District (Isd) in Texas has only one middle school, Iraan J H, which serves students in grades 6-8. Despite the school's small class sizes and higher-than-average per-student spending, its academic performance has been consistently below the state average, with proficiency rates ranging from 0% in 8th grade math to 51.85% in Biology EOC, compared to the state averages of 37.1% and 57.31%, respectively.
Iraan J H's student population is predominantly low-income, with 70.13% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This socioeconomic factor may contribute to the school's academic challenges, which have resulted in a declining statewide ranking, from 1428 in 2021-2022 to 2076 in 2023-2024 out of 2,361 middle schools in Texas. The district and the community may need to explore targeted strategies and evidence-based interventions to address the root causes of the school's persistent underperformance and support student success.
Overall, the data highlights the need for the Iraan-Sheffield Collegiate ISD to closely examine the factors contributing to Iraan J H's academic challenges and develop a comprehensive plan to improve student outcomes. Exploring best practices from higher-performing schools with similar demographics and resource levels could provide valuable insights and guide the district's efforts to ensure that all students in the area receive a quality education.
