Summary:
Fort Stockton Independent School District (Isd) has one middle school, Fort Stockton Middle, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school is located in a predominantly Hispanic community, with a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income student population.
Fort Stockton Middle School faces significant academic challenges, with students consistently performing well below the state averages on STAAR (State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness) tests across various subjects and grade levels. The school's proficiency rates range from 16.67% in 6th grade math to 44.59% in 8th grade reading, compared to the state averages of 37.1% and 54.09%, respectively. The school's statewide ranking among Texas middle schools has also declined from 1605 in 2021-2022 to 1714 in 2023-2024, out of a total of 2361 middle schools.
Despite the school's higher-than-average per-student spending of $11,260 and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.6, the academic performance data suggests that the school may not be effectively leveraging its resources to drive student achievement. The persistent academic challenges and declining statewide rankings indicate the need for a deeper examination of the school's instructional practices, curriculum, and support systems to identify areas for improvement and implement targeted interventions to support student success.
