Gallup Middle

Summary:

Gallup Middle School is a public middle school in Gallup, New Mexico, serving 400 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Gallup District, which is ranked 97 out of 119 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Gallup Middle School has a history of fluctuating performance, with its statewide ranking ranging from 53 to 130 over the past decade and its SchoolDigger star rating varying between 2 and 4 stars. While the school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in English Language Arts (43%), Mathematics (20%), and Science (24%), is generally lower than the state averages, it has shown some strengths in the performance of specific student subgroups, such as English Language Learners and Homeless students. However, the school's performance with other subgroups, such as Male students and White students, has been relatively lower compared to other middle schools in the state. Gallup Middle School also maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 16.7 to 19.3 students per teacher, which is lower than the nearby Chief Manuelito Middle and John F. Kennedy Middle schools.

The high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds at Gallup Middle School, with a 100% free and reduced-price lunch rate, is likely a significant factor contributing to the school's academic challenges. However, the school's relatively stronger performance compared to nearby schools within the same district presents opportunities for targeted interventions and collaborative efforts to drive improvement and better support the diverse needs of its 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.
