North Richland Middle

Summary:

North Richland Middle is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 with around 890 students in North Richland Hills, Texas, which is part of the Birdville Independent School District.

North Richland Middle has a diverse student population, with over 40% Hispanic and 10% African American students. However, the school's academic performance has declined in recent years, dropping from a 4-star statewide ranking in 2016-2017 to a 2-star ranking in 2023-2024. The school's STAAR test scores, particularly in mathematics, are significantly lower than the district and state averages. Additionally, North Richland Middle has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 62-68% receiving free or reduced-price lunch. When compared to other middle schools in the Birdville district, such as Smithfield Middle and North Ridge Middle, North Richland Middle generally performs worse on academic measures.

Interestingly, the nearby Idea Achieve College Preparatory, a public charter school, outperforms North Richland Middle on several academic measures, despite serving a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students. Additionally, Hurst J.H., a middle school in the higher-performing Hurst-Euless-Bedford Independent School District, also outperforms North Richland Middle on most academic measures, even with a similar percentage of economically disadvantaged students. These comparisons suggest that North Richland Middle may need to closely examine its instructional practices, resource allocation, and support for struggling students 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.
