Summary

W B Green J H in La Feria, TX, is a small middle school serving 391 students in grades 7 and 8 within the La Feria Independent School District (Isd), a high-poverty community where over 80% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school stands out for its exceptional support of migrant students, ranking in the 67th percentile for this group—a remarkable strength compared to its overall state ranking of 23rd percentile. Additionally, it excels in Algebra I acceleration, with 63.49% of 8th graders scoring proficient on the End-of-Course exam, far surpassing the district average of 32.9% and the state average of 54.03%. This success in advanced math contrasts sharply with struggles in grade-level math, where only 9.93% of 7th graders and 24.14% of 8th graders are proficient, well below state averages.

The school benefits from a low student-teacher ratio of 11.6:1, offering more individualized attention than nearby schools like Noemi Dominguez Elementary (16.4:1) and Mary Hoge Middle (16:1). However, this resource hasn't translated into consistent academic gains, as performance in core subjects like reading, science, and social studies has declined over recent years. For instance, 7th-grade reading proficiency dropped from 54% in 2022-2023 to 45.69% in 2025-2026, and 8th-grade science fell from 27.01% to 22.8% in the same period. A notable gender achievement gap persists, with female students ranking in the 33rd percentile and male students in the 16th percentile, suggesting instructional approaches may favor one group over the other.

Compared to high-performing neighbors in the Harlingen Consolidated Independent School District, such as Gutierrez Middle (78th percentile) and Moises Vela Middle (79th percentile), W B Green J H lags significantly despite serving similar demographics. For example, in 8th-grade reading, W B Green J H scored 45.05% proficient, while Gutierrez and Vela scored 68.92%. The school spends $12,821 per student, higher than many district peers like Coakley Middle ($11,048), but this investment hasn't yielded proportional outcomes, pointing to potential issues with resource effectiveness rather than scarcity.
