Boles Middle

Summary:

Boles Middle is a public middle school located in Quinlan, Texas, serving grades 5-8 with a student population of 175. The school is part of the Quinlan Independent School District, which is ranked 628 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Boles Middle faces several challenges, including lower academic performance compared to state averages. The school's STAAR test scores in reading and math are significantly below state levels, with proficiency rates ranging from 38.78% to 51.35% in reading and 11.11% to 44% in math, compared to state averages of 52.08% to 54.45% in reading and 31.89% to 48.96% in math. Boles Middle's statewide ranking has also steadily declined over the past several years, from a high of 200 out of 2,043 Texas middle schools in 2014-2015 to its current ranking of 1,544 out of 2,361 in 2023-2024. Compared to nearby schools like Caddo Mills Middle, Boles Middle consistently underperforms academically.

Another area of concern is the school's student population, which is significantly less diverse than the surrounding schools, with a higher percentage of White students (70.86%) compared to the state average. Boles Middle also has a relatively low ranking for gifted and talented students, indicating that the school may not be adequately serving this student population. Additionally, the school has seen a significant increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 49.37% in 2020-2021 to 64% in 2022-2023, suggesting a growing need for additional support and resources.

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.
