Brownfield Middle

Summary:

Brownfield Middle School is a public middle school in Brownfield, Texas, serving 354 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Brownfield Independent School District, which is ranked 897 out of 968 school districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Brownfield Middle School's academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is significantly below the state average across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 30.89% of 6th-grade students were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to the state average of 54.45%. The school's performance is also consistently lower than the district average, indicating that Brownfield Middle School is one of the lower-performing schools within the Brownfield Independent School District. However, the school has maintained a 0% dropout rate for the past several years, which is a positive indicator.

While Brownfield Middle School's overall performance is currently in the bottom half of Texas middle schools, the school's consistent low dropout rate and the relatively strong performance of its African American student subgroup suggest that there may be opportunities for improvement and best practices that could be implemented to support the academic success of all students. The school's high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds and the relatively poor performance of subgroups like English Language Learners and Special Education students indicate that Brownfield Middle School faces significant challenges in supporting and educating its most 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.
