Dean Middle

Summary:

Dean Middle is a public middle school in Houston, Texas, serving 1,252 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District (CFISD), which is ranked 363 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While some nearby schools, such as Cornerstone Academy, perform exceptionally well, with over 90% of students proficient or better in STAAR Reading and Mathematics, Dean Middle consistently underperforms compared to the CFISD district and the state of Texas in STAAR test scores across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, only 39.74% of 6th graders at Dean Middle were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 60.49% in the CFISD district and 54.45% in Texas. Dean Middle also struggles with the performance of several student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 25% of Texas middle schools for English Language Learners and in the bottom 50% for Hispanic and Low Socioeconomic Status students.

The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (88.18% in 2022-2023) and English Language Learners at Dean Middle may contribute to the school's lower academic performance. Additionally, Dean Middle has a higher dropout rate (0.6% in 2021-2022) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 0.0% to 2.1%. The presence of high-performing charter schools, such as Cornerstone Academy, within the same Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District suggests that school choice may play a role in educational outcomes in the area.

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.
