Sam Houston Middle faces significant challenges, with a student population that is 74.5% Hispanic, significantly higher than the state average. The school consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas middle schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years. Its STAAR test scores are significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. Additionally, 90.65% of the students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. However, the school has relatively low dropout rates, ranging from 0.0% to 0.4% over the past several years, which is better than the state average.

Nearby schools within the same district, such as Bussey Middle and O'Banion Middle, also struggle academically but perform better than Sam Houston Middle. This suggests that factors specific to Sam Houston Middle, beyond just district-level challenges, may be contributing to its underperformance. However, the school's performance on the STAAR Algebra I End-of-Course exam is notably higher than its other subject areas, with proficiency rates around 90% in recent years, indicating a potential strength in the school's math instruction or a successful program targeting high-achieving 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.
