Summary:
The Memphis Independent School District (Isd) in Texas has only one middle school, Memphis Middle, which serves students in grades 6-8. Despite its small enrollment of just 89 students, the school boasts a diverse student population with a majority Hispanic enrollment (60.67%) and significant representation of White (31.46%) and African American (7.87%) students.
Academically, Memphis Middle has shown a mixed performance on the STAAR (State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness) tests, with some grade levels and subject areas exceeding the state averages, while others fall below. The school's ranking and rating on SchoolDigger have also fluctuated over the past few years, ranging from a 4-star rating in 2022-2023 to a 3-star rating in 2021-2022. Additionally, the school serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged population, with 89.89% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite the challenges faced by Memphis Middle, the school's small size and diverse student body present both opportunities and areas for improvement. The district and school leaders will need to closely examine the curriculum, teaching practices, and targeted interventions to address the areas of underperformance and ensure that all students have the resources and support they need to succeed.
