Summary:
The Frenship Independent School District (Isd) in Texas is home to three middle schools: Terra Vista Middle, Frenship Middle, and Heritage Middle. Among these, Heritage Middle stands out as the top performer, consistently ranking higher than the other two schools and outperforming district and state averages in most STAAR test subjects.
Heritage Middle's success is evident in its 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and its statewide ranking of 449th out of 2,361 Texas middle schools. The school's reading and science test scores are particularly impressive, with 67.15% of 8th-grade students proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 57.76% for the district and 54.09% for the state. Additionally, Heritage Middle has the lowest percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 42.3%, suggesting a more socioeconomically diverse student population.
While the three middle schools in the Frenship ISD share similar student-teacher ratios, the data reveals that higher spending per student does not necessarily translate to better academic outcomes. Terra Vista Middle, which has the highest spending per student at $8,982, performs the lowest among the three schools on most test scores. This finding highlights the need to explore the factors that contribute to the observed differences in academic performance, such as addressing the performance gaps in mathematics and investigating the potential drivers of the socioeconomic disparities within the district.
