While Santa Fe J H has a predominantly White student population (70.37%), its academic performance lags behind nearby higher-performing schools like Friendswood J H and League City Intermediate, which serve more affluent student populations. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated between 1,039 and 1,264 out of 2,361 Texas middle schools, with a current ranking of 1,264 and a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its performance on STAAR tests is generally below the state and district averages, particularly in mathematics, where proficiency rates range from 17.95% to 31.67%, compared to the state averages of 31.89% to 40.23%.

The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with White students consistently performing the lowest among all racial/ethnic groups, while English Language Learners and Special Education students perform relatively better. Addressing these academic gaps and supporting the diverse needs of the student body should be key priorities for the school and the Santa Fe Independent School District.

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.
