Pine Tree J H consistently performs above the state average on academic measures, particularly in reading and Algebra I. The school's 7th grade reading proficiency rate was 59.31% in 2023-2024, compared to the state average of 52.08%. Additionally, the school's 8th grade Algebra I proficiency rate was an impressive 98.04%, significantly higher than the state's 44.73%. Pine Tree J H also excels with certain student subgroups, such as Asian students and students in special education, ranking in the top half of Texas middle schools for these groups. However, the school's performance with African American and multi-racial students is relatively lower, indicating an opportunity for improvement.

Compared to nearby schools, Pine Tree J H generally outperforms Kilgore Middle and Gladewater Middle on academic measures. However, schools like Spring Hill J H and White Oak Middle, also in the Longview area, have stronger overall performance and rankings compared to Pine Tree J H. This may be due in part to the school's relatively high percentage of students (over 70%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families, which can impact academic achievement.

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.
