Arthur L Davila Middle

Summary:

Arthur L Davila Middle is a public middle school in Bryan, Texas, serving 1,044 students in grades 7-8 and part of the Bryan Independent School District. The school has a predominantly Hispanic student population (around 67%) and a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (around 85%).

Academically, Arthur L Davila Middle consistently ranks in the bottom half of Texas middle schools, with performance on STAAR assessments significantly below state and district averages across all subject areas and grade levels. The school's subgroups, including African American, Hispanic, and economically disadvantaged students, perform particularly poorly, ranking in the bottom 25-30% of Texas middle schools. In contrast, the school's performance for White and multi-racial students is slightly better, ranking in the bottom 40-50% of schools. Despite these academic challenges, the school maintains relatively low dropout rates compared to state and district averages.

When compared to other middle schools in the Bryan Independent School District and the nearby College Station Independent School District, Arthur L Davila Middle consistently underperforms. For example, Stephen F. Austin Middle, another Bryan ISD school, outperforms Arthur L Davila Middle on STAAR assessments and has a higher statewide ranking. The higher spending per student at Arthur L Davila Middle suggests that additional resources are being allocated to the school, but this has not yet translated into improved academic outcomes for the diverse student population.

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.
