Summary:
The Life School district in Texas has only one middle school, Life Middle Waxahachie, which serves students in grades 6-8. Based on the available data, this school does not appear to be a standout performer within the district or the state, as its academic performance on STAAR tests is generally below the district and state averages.
Life Middle Waxahachie has an enrollment of 600 students, with a diverse student population that includes a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (58.17% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch). The school's per-student spending is relatively high at $10,167, and it has a student-teacher ratio of 15.3, which is slightly lower than the typical ratio in Texas public schools. However, these factors have not translated into strong academic outcomes, as the school's proficiency rates on STAAR tests are consistently below the district and state averages, with the exception of Algebra I, where the school's performance is significantly higher.
The school's overall SchoolDigger rating has fluctuated between 1 and 2 out of 5 stars in recent years, indicating that it is a struggling school within the Life School district. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students and the school's underperformance compared to the district and state raise concerns about equity and access to educational resources, which may be contributing to the school's challenges. While the school's relative strength in Algebra I is a potential area of focus, the overall data suggests that Life Middle Waxahachie is not providing a high-quality education to its students.
