Robert T Hill Middle

Summary:

Robert T Hill Middle is a public middle school in Dallas, Texas, serving 803 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Dallas Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 557 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Robert T Hill Middle faces several key challenges, including a significantly higher Hispanic student population (74.6%) compared to nearby schools, consistently lower academic performance on STAAR tests across subjects and grade levels, and a ranking in the bottom half of Texas middle schools with a 1-star or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years. The school also struggles with subgroup performance, particularly for its Asian, African American, and Gifted and Talented students, who rank in the bottom 25-50% of Texas middle schools. Additionally, Robert T Hill Middle has experienced relatively high dropout rates in recent years, ranging from 0.3% to 1.8%, which is higher than the state and district averages.

When comparing Robert T Hill Middle to nearby schools within the Dallas ISD, it becomes clear that the school is underperforming academically. For example, J.L. Long Middle and Lake Highlands J.H. both outperform Robert T Hill Middle in STAAR test scores and overall rankings. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at Robert T Hill Middle, with over 87% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, likely contributes to the school's overall academic struggles. Addressing these challenges will be crucial for the school to improve its quality and provide a better educational experience for its students.

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.
