Uplift Hampton Preparatory Middle

Summary:

Uplift Hampton Preparatory Middle is a public charter middle school in Dallas, Texas, serving 465 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Uplift Education district, which is ranked 701 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Uplift Hampton Preparatory Middle has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas middle schools, with a ranking between 1,454 and 2,112 out of over 2,000 schools over the past several years. The school's performance on STAAR assessments is also below the state and Uplift Education district averages across most subject areas and grade levels. Notably, the school's performance is particularly low for African American and economically disadvantaged students, ranking in the bottom quarter of Texas middle schools for these subgroups. However, the school performs better for Hispanic and English Language Learner students, ranking in the middle third of Texas middle schools. Uplift Hampton Preparatory Middle's academic struggles are concerning, as the school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (over 87% in recent years) and the overall low performance of the Uplift Education district may be contributing factors.

Interestingly, Uplift Hampton Preparatory Middle's performance is generally lower than the nearby public schools in the Dallas Independent School District, Duncanville Independent School District, and other Uplift Education charter schools in the area. For example, D.A. Hulcy STEAM Middle School in Dallas ISD outperforms Uplift Hampton Preparatory Middle across most academic metrics. Addressing these systemic challenges and disparities could be crucial for improving student outcomes at Uplift Hampton Preparatory Middle.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
