Summary:
The Hidalgo Independent School District (Isd) in Texas has only one middle school, Diaz J H, which serves students in grades 6-8. Despite the small size of the district, the data reveals important insights about the performance and characteristics of this lone middle school.
Diaz J H has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas middle schools, with low performance ratings from SchoolDigger. The school's academic proficiency lags behind state averages across most STAAR subjects and grade levels, except for an exceptional 96.49% proficiency rate in the STAAR EOC Algebra I exam in 2024-2025, which was significantly higher than the state average of 47.01%. The school serves a high-poverty student population, with 90.33% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, but maintains a relatively small student-teacher ratio of 11.6.
While Diaz J H faces significant challenges in improving overall student outcomes, the school's strengths in Algebra I instruction and its small class sizes suggest potential areas to build upon. Targeted interventions and support programs may be necessary to address the school's academic weaknesses and better serve its high-poverty student population.
