Pampa J H

Summary:

Pampa J H is a public middle school in Pampa, Texas, serving 738 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Pampa Independent School District and has a student population that is predominantly Hispanic (50.27%) and White (43.63%).

Academically, Pampa J H consistently underperforms compared to the state average on standardized tests, with proficiency rates significantly below the state benchmarks across multiple subject areas and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in STAAR Reading ranged from 31.34% to 42.44%, compared to the state average of 52.08% to 54.45%. Similarly, in STAAR Mathematics, the proficiency rates at Pampa J H ranged from 22.07% to 23.21%, significantly lower than the state average of 31.89% to 40.23%. The school's performance in STAAR Science and Social Studies for 8th grade also lags behind the state averages.

The academic challenges faced by Pampa J H appear to be closely tied to the socioeconomic status of its student population, with a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 57.32% to 66.8%. The school's ranking for low socioeconomic status students is in the bottom quarter of Texas middle schools, indicating that targeted interventions and support may be needed to address the unique needs of students from low-income families. Despite these challenges, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio and adequate funding levels suggest that there may be opportunities for improvement with the right strategies and resources in place.

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.
