A C Blunt Middle

Summary:

A C Blunt Middle is a public middle school in Aransas Pass, Texas, serving 387 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Aransas Pass Independent School District, which is ranked 818 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

A C Blunt Middle faces several challenges, including a significantly higher Hispanic student population (65.63%) compared to the state average, consistently low academic performance that ranks in the bottom half of Texas middle schools, and a high percentage of students (64.08%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. The school's dropout rates are also relatively high, ranging from 0.3% to 1.1% over the past few years. When compared to nearby middle schools like Brundrett Middle in Port Aransas and Gregory-Portland Middle, A C Blunt Middle generally performs worse academically, with its Hispanic, White, and English Language Learner student subgroups ranking in the bottom 20-30% of Texas middle schools.

Despite the school's low academic performance, A C Blunt Middle spends a relatively high amount per student ($10,274 in 2020-2021) and has a relatively low student-to-teacher ratio (15.2 in 2022-2023), suggesting that the school's challenges may not be solely due to a lack of resources. Addressing these issues will likely require a comprehensive approach that considers the school's unique context and the specific needs of its diverse student population, such as English language learners and economically disadvantaged students.

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.
