Summary:
The McAllen Independent School District (Isd) in Texas is home to 6 middle schools serving grades 6-8. The data reveals a mix of high-performing and lower-performing schools, with Morris Middle, Cathey Middle, and Michael E Fossum Middle standing out as the top-performing schools in the district.
Morris Middle is consistently ranked among the top middle schools in Texas, with excellent test scores in STAAR Reading and Mathematics. Cathey Middle and Michael E Fossum Middle also perform well, with strong test scores and low dropout rates. In contrast, De Leon Middle, Brown Middle, and Travis Middle have lower proficiency rates, particularly in Mathematics.
The data also reveals potential factors influencing academic performance, such as socioeconomic status and spending per student. The schools with the highest percentages of free/reduced lunch recipients, like Travis Middle and De Leon Middle, tend to have lower test scores, suggesting a link between socioeconomic status and academic achievement. However, Morris Middle, with a relatively low free/reduced lunch rate, still outperforms the district and state averages, indicating that other factors beyond funding and socioeconomic status may be at play.
