Middle Schools in Rio Vista Independent School District (Isd)

The Rio Vista Independent School District (Isd) in Texas has only one middle school, Rio Vista Middle, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's academic performance is mixed, with strengths in 6th and 7th-grade reading but weaknesses in math across all grades and 8th-grade core subjects. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and low dropout rate, its statewide ranking has declined slightly over the past three years, and it serves a high proportion of economically disadvantaged students, which may present additional challenges.

Academically, Rio Vista Middle outperforms the state average in 6th and 7th-grade reading but underperforms in math and 8th-grade reading, science, and social studies. The school's overall statewide ranking has declined from 1246 out of 2254 Texas middle schools in 2021-2022 to 1187 out of 2361 in 2023-2024, despite maintaining a consistent 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. This suggests the school may need to focus on improving its math and 8th-grade core subject instruction to better support student learning and keep pace with improvements at other middle schools across the state.

Additionally, the school's high free and reduced-price lunch rate of 56.13% indicates it serves a relatively high proportion of economically disadvantaged students, which may present additional challenges in terms of providing the necessary resources and support to ensure these students' academic success. The school's low student-teacher ratio of 13.8 and 0.0% dropout rate are positive indicators, but the overall data suggests Rio Vista Middle could benefit from a closer examination of its strategies and practices to address its academic performance concerns and better support its student population.
