In recent years, Mount Pleasant J H has received a 2-3 star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating average to below-average performance compared to other Texas middle schools.

Academically, Mount Pleasant J H's performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is generally below the state and district averages across various subjects and grade levels. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with English Language Learners and At-Risk students performing relatively well, but Gifted and Talented students and students with low socioeconomic status performing significantly lower. Interestingly, the school has maintained very low dropout rates, ranging from 0.0% to 0.2% in recent years, which is a positive indicator of student retention and engagement.

When compared to nearby middle schools, such as Chapel Hill J H, which is about 8 miles away, Mount Pleasant J H's performance is generally lower. The school's relatively low academic performance, particularly in math and science, presents opportunities for improvement. Understanding the unique needs and challenges of the school's predominantly Hispanic student population could help the school better support their academic and social-emotional development.

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.
