Summary:
The Brooks County Independent School District (Isd) in Texas has only one middle school, Falfurrias J H, which serves grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 274 students. The school's student population is predominantly Hispanic (97.81%), with a small percentage of White students (2.19%), and a high percentage (86.86%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant economic disadvantage.
Academically, Falfurrias J H has consistently performed poorly on STAAR assessments, with proficiency rates well below the state average in most subjects and grade levels. The school's statewide ranking among Texas middle schools has remained in the bottom quartile for the past three school years, earning it a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $15,527 and a low student-teacher ratio of 12.6, its academic performance continues to struggle, suggesting that simply allocating more resources may not be the sole solution to improving student outcomes.
The analysis of the data for Falfurrias J H reveals a middle school that is facing significant challenges in improving its academic performance, particularly given the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students it serves. The school's consistently low rankings and test scores suggest the need for a comprehensive review of its educational practices and resource allocation to identify and address the root causes of its underperformance.
