Galena Park Middle

Summary:

Galena Park Middle is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in the Galena Park Independent School District (ISD) in Texas, with a student population of 943 that is predominantly Hispanic (90.77% in 2022-2023).

Galena Park Middle has several strengths, including its exceptional performance in Algebra I End-of-Course (EOC) assessments, where 98.61% of students scored proficient or better in 2023-2024, far exceeding the district and state averages. The school also consistently ranks in the top 25% of Texas middle schools for English Language Learner (ELL) student performance, indicating effective support for this population. However, the school faces challenges in addressing performance gaps between student subgroups, with proficiency rates ranging from 9.62% for 7th grade math to 56.88% for 8th grade math on STAAR assessments. Galena Park Middle's performance is generally on par with or slightly better than the nearby Woodland Acres Middle, but lags behind some higher-performing schools in the Pasadena ISD, such as Nelda Sullivan Middle and Queens Intermediate.

Galena Park Middle's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (over 88% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch) may contribute to the school's academic challenges and performance gaps. Addressing these issues, while building on the school's strengths in supporting ELL students and excelling in Algebra I, will be crucial for Galena Park Middle to continue improving and providing a quality education for its diverse student population.

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.
