Middle Schools in Port Arthur Independent School District (Isd)

The Port Arthur Independent School District (Isd) in Texas has two middle schools: Jefferson Middle and Lincoln Middle. Both schools face significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance and serving communities with high socioeconomic needs.

Neither Jefferson Middle nor Lincoln Middle stand out as high-performing schools. Both have very low statewide rankings and their students' STAAR test scores are well below state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. The schools serve diverse student populations, with Jefferson Middle having a majority Hispanic student body and Lincoln Middle having a majority African American student body.

Despite the relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratios, the schools' consistently low performance suggests that the resources may not be effectively utilized or targeted to address the specific needs of the student population. Addressing the socioeconomic challenges faced by the communities served by these schools, as well as implementing targeted interventions and a comprehensive approach to school improvement, may be necessary to provide a high-quality education for all students in the Port Arthur Independent School District (Isd).
