Summary:
Sweeny Independent School District (ISD) in Texas is home to a single middle school, Sweeny J H, which serves students in grades 6-8. While the school has a diverse student population, its academic performance, particularly in mathematics, is significantly below the state averages. However, the school's higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratio suggest that it has access to more resources than the state average.
Sweeny J H's STAAR test scores are generally lower than the state benchmarks, with only 6.77% of 6th graders proficient or better in mathematics, compared to the state average of 37.1%. This indicates that the school may need to focus on improving its curriculum, instructional methods, and support for students in these subject areas. Additionally, the school's 0.0% dropout rate is an excellent indicator of student retention and engagement.
Despite the academic performance concerns, Sweeny J H serves a diverse student population, with 54.16% White, 11.46% African American, and 27.64% Hispanic students. The school's high free/reduced lunch rate of 56.63% suggests that a significant portion of the student population may be facing economic challenges. It will be important for the school and the Sweeny ISD to ensure that they are allocating resources effectively to support the unique needs of all their students and address the underlying factors contributing to the academic performance gaps.
