Henry Scott Middle faces several challenges, including declining academic performance, a high percentage of socioeconomically disadvantaged students, and subpar performance compared to state and district averages. The school's racial makeup is more diverse than nearby schools, with a higher percentage of Hispanic (26.7%) and African American (10.95%) students. Academically, Henry Scott Middle's proficiency rates in reading, math, science, and social studies are all below the state and district averages. However, the school's gifted and talented program is a standout, ranking in the top 128 out of 1,481 Texas middle schools, and its special education students performed exceptionally well, ranking in the top 406 out of 1,712 Texas middle schools in the 2020-2021 school year.

Compared to nearby middle schools, such as Piner Middle and Sherman Middle in the Sherman Independent School District, Henry Scott Middle generally underperforms in academic measures. However, the school's per-student spending has increased over the years, suggesting that the school is investing more resources in its students. Addressing the underlying socioeconomic factors and implementing effective instructional strategies may be key to helping Henry Scott Middle improve its overall academic outcomes.

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.
