Tulia J H

Summary:

Tulia J H is a middle school in Tulia, Texas, serving 206 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Tulia Independent School District, which is ranked 911 out of 968 school districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Tulia J H consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas middle schools, with a statewide ranking between 1,500 and 2,200 out of over 2,300 schools. The school's performance on STAAR assessments is significantly below the state average across all subjects and grade levels, with only 18.57% of 6th-grade students proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to the state average of 54.45%. The school's STAAR Math performance is particularly low, with only 3.39% of 8th-grade students achieving proficiency or better, compared to the state average of 40.23%.

Despite the relatively high per-student spending of around $12,900, which is above the state average, Tulia J H is not achieving commensurate academic outcomes. The school's persistent academic struggles and lack of equity in supporting the achievement of various student subgroups, including African American, Hispanic, and Special Education students, suggest the need for a comprehensive review and implementation of targeted improvement strategies to better serve the students and community of Tulia, Texas.

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.
