Summary:
The West Oso Independent School District (Isd) in Texas has only one middle school, West Oso J H, which serves students in grades 6-8. This school has a predominantly Hispanic student population and faces challenges in academic performance, particularly in reading and mathematics, when compared to state-level benchmarks.
West Oso J H's STAAR test scores are consistently below the state averages across multiple subjects and grade levels, with proficiency rates ranging from 25.37% to 39.69% in reading and 11.94% to 44.74% in mathematics, compared to state averages of 54.45% to 54.09% in reading and 37.1% to 40.23% in mathematics. However, the school's Algebra I end-of-course proficiency rate is relatively high at 94.12%, suggesting a strength in mathematics instruction at the high school level.
The school's high percentage of students (83.41%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income student population, coupled with its low academic performance, suggests potential equity issues that may be impacting student outcomes. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, from 1935 out of 2254 Texas middle schools in 2021-2022 to 1772 out of 2361 in 2023-2024, indicating a need for targeted interventions and resource allocation to improve student achievement and address the factors contributing to this trend.
