Fleming Middle

Summary:

Fleming Middle is a public magnet middle school located in Houston, Texas, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 384 students. The school has a diverse student population, with 61.46% African American, 36.72% Hispanic, and 1.56% White students.

Despite being 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, Fleming Middle consistently underperforms compared to the district and state in academic measures. The school has a very low statewide ranking, consistently placing in the bottom 10-15% of Texas middle schools, and struggles to support the academic achievement of various student subgroups. For example, in the 2022-2023 school year, the school ranked in the bottom 50% of Texas middle schools for African American, Hispanic, English Language Learner, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status students. Additionally, Fleming Middle has relatively high dropout rates, ranging from 1.6% to 3.3% over the past five school years, which are higher than the district and state averages.

When comparing Fleming Middle to other nearby schools in the Houston Independent School District, it becomes clear that the school is underperforming compared to its peers. For instance, Hogg Middle, located just 3.93 miles away, consistently outperforms Fleming Middle in academic measures and has a much higher statewide ranking. The data suggests that Fleming Middle faces significant challenges in terms of resources, staffing, and support for its students, which likely contribute to the school's academic struggles and high dropout rates.

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.
