Summary:

Ganado Jh is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in the Ganado Independent School District (ISD) in Ganado, Texas, with 152 students and a student-teacher ratio of 12.8. While the school has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Texas middle schools by SchoolDigger, with a 2-star rating out of 5 in recent years, it faces several challenges that are worth noting.

Ganado Jh's test scores are generally below the state averages across various STAAR assessments, with projected proficiency rates in 2024-2025 that are lower than the state in reading, math, science, and social studies. However, the school has maintained a low dropout rate, which is better than the state average. Additionally, Ganado Jh has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 54.88% to 58.55% in recent years, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students compared to the state. The school's spending per student, between $8,851 and $10,186, is higher than the state average.

Interestingly, Ganado Jh's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups. While the school's Gifted and Talented students have performed exceptionally well, ranking in the top 40% of Texas middle schools in recent years, the school's Special Education and At-Risk students have struggled, ranking in the bottom 25% of Texas middle schools. When compared to nearby middle schools, such as El Campo Middle, Industrial J H, Edna J H, and Louise J H, Ganado Jh's performance is generally lower, with higher test scores, lower dropout rates, and a lower percentage of economically disadvantaged students.

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.
