Deady Middle

Summary:

Deady Middle is a public middle school in Houston, Texas, serving 588 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Houston Independent School District, which is ranked 572 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Deady Middle faces significant challenges, with a student population that is 93.71% Hispanic and a high percentage (95.58%) of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. The school consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas middle schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger and STAAR test scores that are significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. Deady Middle also has relatively high dropout rates, ranging from 1.2% to 5.6%, which are higher than the district and state averages.

While Deady Middle has a relatively high per-student spending of around $11,600 and a low student-teacher ratio of 15-16 students per teacher, these factors do not seem to translate into improved academic outcomes. Nearby schools in the Houston Independent School District, such as Hartman Middle, Ortiz Middle, and Edison Middle, generally outperform Deady Middle on STAAR test scores and have higher SchoolDigger ratings, despite facing similar challenges. Addressing the issues at Deady Middle will require a comprehensive approach that addresses the unique needs of the student population and the school's overall educational environment.

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.
