Lockhart J H

Summary:

Lockhart J H is a public middle school in Lockhart, Texas, serving 1,433 students in grades 6-8. The school faces significant challenges, with a student population that is predominantly Hispanic (81.3%) and economically disadvantaged (75% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch), and academic performance that consistently ranks in the bottom quarter of Texas middle schools.

Lockhart J H struggles to support its most vulnerable student populations, ranking in the bottom quarter of Texas middle schools for African American, Hispanic, English Language Learner, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status students. The school's performance on STAAR tests is well below the state average, with only 34-39% of students proficient or better in reading and 8-48% proficient or better in math across different grade levels. In comparison, nearby middle schools in the Hays Consolidated Independent School District and San Marcos Consolidated Independent School District generally have higher academic performance, lower dropout rates, and serve more economically advantaged student populations.

Lockhart J H's persistent low rankings and lack of improvement over time suggest a need for targeted interventions and additional resources to help address the unique challenges faced by the school community. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged and minority students, coupled with the school's low performance for subgroups, indicates that Lockhart J H may not be effectively supporting the unique needs of these students. With a spending per student around $8,700, which is lower than the nearby districts, the school may require increased funding and resources to improve outcomes for its students.

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.
