Summary:
In zip code 77664, there is one middle school, Warren J H, serving grades 6 through 8 in the Warren Independent School District (Isd), with a total enrollment of 286 students and a high rate of economic disadvantage, as 64.34% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.
Warren J H has seen a downward trend in its state ranking over the last three years, dropping from the 49th percentile to the 38th percentile. The school's academic performance varies significantly by grade and subject. A critical concern is the "7th Grade Math Cliff," where only 6.25% of students were proficient in the most recent school year, compared to the state average of 29.41%. This persistent issue suggests a systemic problem in 7th-grade math instruction. In contrast, 8th-grade math is a bright spot, with 50.43% proficiency, exceeding the state average of 47.24%. Reading scores are mixed, with 6th grade at 48.31% and 7th grade at 38.83%. Social studies is a consistent weakness, with 8th-grade proficiency at 24.68%, below the state average.
The school operates with a student-teacher ratio of 13.7 and per-student spending of $10,502, which is relatively low given the high poverty rate. The dropout rate is 0.0%, a positive indicator. The inconsistent performance across grades and subjects suggests that student success may depend heavily on specific teachers or grade-level teams. The strong 8th-grade math results warrant investigation into what is working there, while the 7th-grade math struggles and declining state ranking indicate that current instructional strategies may need significant improvement to overcome the challenges of limited resources and a high-need student population.
