Summary:
The Royse City Independent School District (Isd) in Texas is home to two middle schools: Bobby Summers Middle and Ouida Baley Middle. Based on the available data, Bobby Summers Middle stands out as the higher-performing school, consistently outpacing the district and state averages on standardized test scores across various subjects and grade levels.
Bobby Summers Middle has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, compared to Ouida Baley Middle's 2-star rating, and boasts a lower student-teacher ratio of 15.3 to 16.1. Academically, Bobby Summers Middle shines, with significantly higher proficiency rates in STAAR Reading, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies compared to the Royse City ISD and Texas state averages. For example, in 8th grade STAAR Science, Bobby Summers Middle had a 59.41% proficiency rate, while Ouida Baley Middle scored 29.36% and the district average was 44.3%.
Despite the similar demographic makeup of the two schools, with both having a majority of white students and significant Hispanic populations, the performance gap between them is substantial. This raises questions about equity in educational opportunities and the need for additional support and resources to ensure all students in the district have access to a high-quality education. Further investigation into factors such as resource allocation and teacher distribution could provide valuable insights into the drivers of this disparity.
