Summary:
The Kerrville Independent School District (Isd) in Texas has one middle school, Peterson Middle, which serves students in grades 6-8. Peterson Middle has a diverse student population, with a roughly even split between White and Hispanic students, as well as a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with over 50% receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
One of the standout strengths of Peterson Middle is its exceptional performance on the Algebra I End-of-Course exam, with 85.71% of students achieving proficiency, significantly outpacing the Kerrville ISD and Texas state averages. However, the school's overall academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is generally on par with or slightly above the district and state averages, with some notable exceptions, such as lower proficiency rates in 6th and 7th grade math.
Despite its strong performance in certain areas, Peterson Middle has consistently been ranked in the middle to lower range of Texas middle schools, with a 3-star rating out of 5 in recent years. This suggests that there may be other factors, beyond the data provided, that contribute to the school's overall ranking, such as the unique challenges faced by the economically disadvantaged student population or other aspects of the school's learning environment and culture.
