Navarro Middle

Summary:

Navarro Middle is a public middle school in Houston, Texas, serving 547 students in grades 6-8, with a predominantly Hispanic student population of 91.04%. The school is part of the Houston Independent School District, which is ranked 572 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Navarro Middle consistently performs below the district and state averages on STAAR tests, with proficiency rates ranging from 28.03% to 31.21% in Reading and 11.39% to 20.41% in Mathematics, compared to 46.73% to 54.45% and 29.07% to 40.23% for the district and state, respectively. The school also has relatively high dropout rates, ranging from 3.7% to 5.3%, which are significantly higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, over 95% of Navarro Middle's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.

When compared to nearby schools, Navarro Middle's academic performance challenges are not unique, as several other traditional public schools in the area, such as McReynolds Middle and Edison Middle, also struggle with low proficiency rates and poor rankings. In contrast, the local magnet schools, such as Baylor College Of Medicine Biotech Academy At Rusk and Baylor College Of Medicine Academy At Ryan, demonstrate significantly higher academic performance, suggesting that a specialized, focused curriculum and selective admissions can lead to better outcomes for 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.
