Richland Middle

Summary:

Richland Middle is a public middle school located in Richland Hills, Texas, serving grades 6-8 with a student population of 675. It is part of the Birdville Independent School District, which is ranked 450 out of 968 school districts in Texas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Richland Middle faces several challenges, including a diverse and economically disadvantaged student population, with a higher percentage of Hispanic (48.89%) and African American (20.89%) students compared to nearby schools. The school's STAAR test scores are generally lower than the district and state averages across various subjects and grade levels, and it has seen a gradual increase in its dropout rates, from 0.4% in 2017-2018 to 2.4% in 2021-2022, which is higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, Richland Middle has a significantly higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 78.37% in 2022-2023, and a higher student-teacher ratio of 14.6 in 2022-2023, compared to the nearby schools such as Smithfield Middle and Bedford J.H.

However, Richland Middle has shown strengths in supporting special education and English Language Learner (ELL) students, ranking in the top quartile of Texas middle schools in recent years. The school's performance in the Gifted and Talented program has been mixed, ranking 486 out of 1,481 Texas middle schools in 2022-2023, but only 910 out of 1,488 in 2021-2022. To improve overall performance, Richland Middle may need to focus on targeted interventions, resource allocation, and addressing the unique needs of its diverse student body, as it generally underperforms compared to the nearby schools in the Birdville Independent School District and the Hurst-Euless-Bedford Independent School District.

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.
