Yoakum J H

Summary:

Yoakum J H is a public middle school in Yoakum, Texas, serving 322 students in grades 6-8. The school stands out for its significantly higher Hispanic student population compared to nearby schools, as well as its mixed academic performance and disparities in subgroup achievement.

While Yoakum J H excels in Algebra I, with 95% of students proficient or better, the school struggles in other subject areas, particularly Mathematics, where proficiency rates lag behind the state average. This performance gap is especially pronounced for English Language Learners and Special Education students, who rank in the bottom 30% in Texas. In contrast, the school's Gifted and Talented students perform exceptionally well, ranking in the top 30% statewide. The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, over 70%, may contribute to these academic challenges.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Hallettsville J H and Cuero J H, Yoakum J H has seen a steady decline in its statewide ranking, despite maintaining a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. This suggests the school may benefit from learning from the practices and strategies employed by its higher-performing neighbors, which are part of the Hallettsville Independent School District and Cuero Independent School District, respectively.

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.
