Rowe Middle

Q: Is Rowe Middle a good school?

Rowe Middle ranks 1278 th of 2361 Texas middle schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Rowe Middle is a public middle school located in Cypress, Texas, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 1,310 students. 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.

Rowe Middle faces several challenges, including a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic (59.08%) and African American (27.48%) students compared to the surrounding schools, and generally lower academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, across most subject areas and grade levels. However, the school ranks highly for African American students (315 out of 1,273 Texas middle schools in 2022-2023) and low-socioeconomic status students (596 out of 2,251 Texas middle schools in 2022-2023), suggesting it may be effectively addressing the needs of these populations. The school's dropout rate has also decreased from 1.7% in 2020-2021 to 0.6% in 2021-2022, though it is still slightly higher than the district and state averages.

Compared to nearby schools, Rowe Middle's academic performance is generally lower than the higher-ranking Aragon Middle and Anthony Middle within the CFISD district, but it outperforms some of the nearby schools in the Katy Independent School District (ISD), such as Cardiff J.H. and Thornton Middle. The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (80.15% in 2022-2023) and lower spending per student ($9,445 in 2020-2021) compared to some higher-performing nearby schools may contribute to its academic challenges.

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.
