Summary:
Lufkin Independent School District (ISD) in Texas has only one middle school, Lufkin Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is consistently below the state averages across multiple subjects and grade levels, indicating a need for improvement in student achievement.
Lufkin Middle School serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 89.31% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests that the school may face additional challenges in terms of educational resources and support. The school's racial/ethnic composition, with a majority of Hispanic and African American students, also raises questions about equity and the potential for achievement gaps among different demographic groups.
Despite the school's academic challenges, it has a relatively low dropout rate of 0.2% for the 2021-2022 school year. The school's per-student spending for the 2020-2021 school year was $10,609, and the student-teacher ratio is 12.2 for the 2022-2023 school year. While these metrics provide some insight into the school's resources, further analysis of the Lufkin Independent School District as a whole would be necessary to understand Lufkin Middle School's performance in a broader context.
