Holland Middle

Summary:

Holland Middle is a public middle school in Houston, Texas, serving 644 students in grades 6-8. The school has a diverse student population, with 75.78% Hispanic, 21.43% African American, and 2.02% White students. Holland Middle 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.

Holland Middle consistently underperforms compared to the Houston ISD and Texas state averages on STAAR assessments across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, only 28.9% of 6th graders, 28.89% of 7th graders, and 35.91% of 8th graders were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 54.45%, 52.08%, and 54.09% at the state level, respectively. The school also has relatively high dropout rates, ranging from 3.1% in 2018-2019 to 5.9% in 2021-2022, which are significantly higher than the state average. Holland Middle struggles to serve its diverse student population effectively, with the school's rankings for subgroups like African American, Hispanic, English Language Learners, and Special Education students consistently in the bottom quartile of Texas middle schools.

While Holland Middle underperforms compared to state and district averages, some nearby schools within the Houston ISD, such as Fleming Middle and Navarro Middle, also struggle with low academic performance and high dropout rates. However, one notable exception is Project Chrysalis Middle, a public charter school located about 4 miles from Holland Middle, which consistently outperforms Holland Middle and the district on STAAR assessments. This suggests that alternative educational models may be more effective in serving the needs of the student population in this area.

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.
