Summary:
The Ferris Independent School District (Isd) in Texas has only one middle school, Ferris J H, which serves students in grades 6-8. The data suggests that this middle school is performing below average compared to other Texas middle schools, ranking in the bottom half of the state's middle schools in recent years.
Ferris J H has consistently low performance, with a 1-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in core subjects like STAAR/Reading, STAAR/Mathematics, STAAR/Science, and STAAR/Social Studies are generally lower than the state averages for Texas. However, the school's proficiency rate in STAAR EOC/Algebra I is higher than the district and state averages, indicating some success in preparing students for advanced math coursework.
The data also reveals that Ferris J H has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting the school may be serving a socioeconomically disadvantaged population. While the school's per-student spending is higher than the state average, it is unclear if these resources are being effectively utilized to improve student outcomes. Overall, the data suggests that Ferris J H is a struggling middle school that could benefit from a closer examination of its instructional practices, resource allocation, and strategies for supporting its student population.
