Summary:
The Crystal City Independent School District (Isd) in Texas has only one middle school, Sterling H Fly Junior High School, which serves students in grades 6-8. This school faces significant challenges, including a student population that is 100% Hispanic, well below-average academic performance on standardized tests, and a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.
Academically, Sterling H Fly Junior High School struggles, with STAAR test scores that are substantially lower than the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the percentage of students proficient or better in Reading ranged from 27.88% (7th grade) to 41.53% (8th grade), compared to the state averages of 52.08% and 54.09%, respectively. The school's dropout rate of 1.7% is also slightly higher than the state average.
Financially, Sterling H Fly Junior High School spends $12,373 per student, which is higher than the state average, but a significant majority (83.83%) of the school's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. The school's student-teacher ratio of 14.5 is slightly higher than the state average, which may also contribute to the academic challenges faced by the school.
