Queens Intermediate

Summary:

Queens Intermediate is a public middle school in Pasadena, Texas, serving 618 students in grades 7-8. The school is part of the Pasadena Independent School District, which is ranked 562 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Queens Intermediate faces significant challenges in improving student outcomes, particularly for its predominantly Hispanic (95.47%) and economically disadvantaged (92.72% receive free/reduced lunch) student population. The school's test scores are generally lower than the district and state averages, and it has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas middle schools with a 1 or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, the school stands out for its high proficiency rates in Algebra I, with over 90% of students scoring proficient or better, significantly outperforming the district and state averages.

Nearby schools like South Houston Intermediate and Stevenson Middle have similar demographic and performance profiles to Queens Intermediate, suggesting the challenges faced by the school may be common in the local area. The combination of low overall performance, high economic disadvantage, and significant achievement gaps between racial/ethnic groups at Queens Intermediate raises concerns about educational equity and the school's ability to provide a high-quality education for all 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.
