Martin Middle

Summary:

Martin Middle is a public middle school in Austin, Texas, serving 296 students in grades 7-8. The school has a predominantly Hispanic student population (81.08%) and a significant African American population (16.22%), and it serves a high-poverty community, with 92.23% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Despite its small size and low student-teacher ratio, Martin Middle has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing middle schools in Texas, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's academic performance is significantly lower than the district and state averages across all subject areas and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 10.26% of 7th-grade students and 9.42% of 8th-grade students were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 52.57% and 52.78% for the Austin Independent School District (ISD), respectively. The school's performance in STAAR Mathematics is even more concerning, with only 2.04% of 7th-grade students and 5.15% of 8th-grade students achieving proficiency, compared to 23.33% and 41.04% for the district.

When compared to nearby middle schools, such as Mendez Middle, O Henry Middle, and Kealing Middle, Martin Middle's performance is significantly lower across all academic measures. This suggests that the challenges faced by Martin Middle are not necessarily shared by all schools in the Austin ISD, and that the school may require substantial interventions and support to improve student outcomes.

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.

Impact of COVID-19 on Martin Middle
