Hartman Middle

Summary:

Hartman Middle is a public magnet middle school located in Houston, Texas, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 904 students. The school has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 0.66% White, 24.23% African American, 74.34% Hispanic, 0.11% Asian, 0.11% Native American, 0.11% Pacific Islander, and 0.44% two or more races.

Academically, Hartman Middle faces some challenges, with STAAR test scores generally lower than state and district averages across most subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in STAAR Reading ranged from 41.38% to 48.47%, compared to the state average of 52.08% to 54.45%. Similarly, in STAAR Mathematics, the proficiency rates ranged from 30% to 31.3%, compared to the state average of 31.89% to 37.1%. The school also experiences achievement gaps between different student subgroups, with African American and Hispanic students performing significantly lower than their peers on STAAR tests. Additionally, Hartman Middle has seen a gradual increase in its dropout rates, from 0.1% in 2017-2018 to 1.5% in 2021-2022, which is a concerning trend.

When compared to nearby schools, Hartman Middle generally performs better academically than traditional public schools in the area, such as Deady Middle, Thomas Middle, and Ortiz Middle. However, the school lags behind the academic achievements of local charter schools, such as KIPP Prime College Preparatory, KIPP Liberation College Preparatory, and Yes Prep - Hobby, which consistently outperform Hartman Middle in STAAR test proficiency rates across multiple subjects and grade levels.

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.
