Stillman Middle

Summary:

Stillman Middle is a public middle school in Brownsville, Texas, serving 1,095 students in grades 6-8. This school consistently outperforms the Brownsville Independent School District and the state of Texas on standardized tests, with particularly strong results in core academic subjects and end-of-course exams.

Stillman Middle's Hispanic students, who make up over 98% of the student population, perform exceptionally well compared to their peers across the state. However, the school's performance for other subgroups, such as English Language Learners and Gifted and Talented students, is relatively lower. Despite serving a predominantly low-income student population, with 67.67% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, Stillman Middle maintains very low dropout rates, ranging from 0.0% to 0.1% over the past several years.

When compared to other middle schools in the Brownsville Independent School District, such as Perkins Middle, Garcia Middle, and Oliveira Middle, Stillman Middle generally outperforms them on most academic metrics. However, some nearby schools in the Los Fresnos Consolidated Independent School District, such as Resaca Middle and Los Cuates Middle, also demonstrate strong academic performance, suggesting that factors beyond just the district may contribute to a school's success.

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.
