Jose Borrego Middle

Summary:

Jose Borrego Middle is a public middle school located in Monte Alto, Texas, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 186 students. The school has a predominantly Hispanic student population, with 98.39% Hispanic students in the 2022-2023 school year, and is part of the Santa Rosa Independent School District, which is ranked 751 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Jose Borrego Middle shares some similarities with the nearby schools, such as a predominantly Hispanic student population and high rates of free and reduced-price lunch, it generally underperforms in terms of statewide rankings, test scores, and overall school performance compared to the other middle schools in the region. The school's Hispanic and English Language Learner students perform better than the Special Education and At-Risk student subgroups on STAAR assessments, and its spending per student has decreased from $14,838 in 2018-2019 to $13,637 in 2020-2021, which may be a contributing factor to the school's lower performance compared to the state and district averages. However, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.5 to 11.6 over the past few years, could be a positive factor in supporting student learning.

Based on the data, Jose Borrego Middle could benefit from targeted interventions and support to improve its overall academic performance, particularly in the areas of Mathematics and Science, where the school's scores lag behind the state and district averages. The school's low dropout rates and the presence of nearby schools like Jo Nelson Middle, Mary Hoge Middle, and Beatriz G Garza Middle, which have higher rankings and ratings, suggest that there may be opportunities for collaboration and learning from the successes of these neighboring schools.

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.
