Tigert Middle School

Summary:

Tigert Middle School is a public middle school located in Soda Springs, Idaho, serving students in grades 5-8 with a total enrollment of 274 students. The school has shown a mix of academic performance, with proficiency rates in ISAT Math and English Language Arts below the state average, but a higher ISAT Science proficiency rate. Tigert Middle School also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a diverse student population.

Compared to the nearby North Gem Middle School, which has a much smaller student population of only 26 students, Tigert Middle School has a higher ISAT Math proficiency rate, but a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests that while Tigert Middle School faces challenges in academic achievement, it may have a more diverse and economically mixed student body than the smaller North Gem Middle School.

Over the past few years, Tigert Middle School has experienced a decline in racial diversity, with the percentage of White students increasing from 91.86% in 2020-2021 to 88.32% in the current school year. The school's statewide ranking has also fluctuated, ranging from a high of 40th out of 173 Idaho middle schools in 2012-2013 to a low of 85th out of 131 schools in 2016-2017. The school's current ranking of 66th out of 164 middle schools in 2023-2024 suggests a need for continued improvement to maintain a more consistent and higher ranking among Idaho middle schools.

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.
