George Jh

Summary:

George Jh is a public middle school located in Rosenberg, Texas, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 1,173 students. The school is part of the Lamar Consolidated Independent School District, which is ranked 213 out of 968 school districts in Texas and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $9,764, George Jh consistently ranks in the bottom half of Texas middle schools, with a ranking between 1,600-1,855 out of 2,252-2,361 schools over the past several years. The school's performance on STAAR tests is significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates ranging from 40.85% to 44.47% in Reading and 5% to 22.75% in Mathematics, compared to the district's 61.45% to 66.91% in Reading and 20.68% to 51.16% in Mathematics. Additionally, George Jh has experienced relatively high dropout rates in recent years, ranging from 0.2% to 1.5%, which are higher than the district and state averages.

The stark contrast in academic outcomes between George Jh and the nearby schools within the Lamar Consolidated Independent School District, such as Reading Jh and Briscoe Jh, suggests that factors beyond just funding and resources, such as school leadership, teacher quality, and targeted interventions, may be crucial in driving student success. To improve the school's performance, the district and school administration should closely examine the factors contributing to the achievement gaps, particularly for the underperforming student subgroups, and implement targeted strategies to address the specific needs of the George Jh community.

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.
