Fannin Middle

Summary:

Fannin Middle is a public middle school in Amarillo, Texas, serving 657 students in grades 6-8 as part of the Amarillo Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 442 out of 968 districts in the state.

Despite being part of the Amarillo ISD, Fannin Middle consistently underperforms compared to the district and state averages on standardized tests, with particularly low proficiency rates in reading and math. The school has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranks in the bottom half of Texas middle schools, with certain student subgroups, such as White, Hispanic, and English Language Learner (ELL) students, performing in the bottom 20-30% statewide. Fannin Middle also has a high dropout rate that has been steadily increasing, and a large percentage (78.84%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Interestingly, some nearby schools within the Amarillo ISD, such as Bonham Middle and Crockett Middle, perform significantly better and rank in the top 25% of Texas middle schools, suggesting that the district has the capacity to support higher-performing schools. However, Fannin Middle's struggles do not appear to be due to a lack of funding, as its spending per student is on par with the district and state averages, and its student-teacher ratio is within the typical range for middle schools.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
