Stephen F Austin

Summary:

Stephen F Austin is a public middle school in Bryan, Texas, serving 1,206 students in grades 7-8. The school is part of the Bryan Independent School District, which has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Stephen F Austin faces significant academic challenges, with test scores generally lower than state and district averages across most subjects and grade levels. The school's performance gaps are particularly concerning, with White students performing relatively well but African American, Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Special Education students struggling significantly. The school's high poverty rate, with 76.45% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, likely contributes to these challenges. In contrast, nearby A&M Consolidated Middle and other College Station ISD schools outperform Stephen F Austin and the Bryan ISD schools across most metrics.

However, Stephen F Austin does have a bright spot in its strong performance on Algebra I end-of-course exams, with proficiency rates significantly higher than the district and state averages. This suggests the school may have strengths in math instruction and advanced coursework. To address the school's broader challenges, targeted interventions, specialized support, and equitable resource allocation will be crucial to help all students succeed.

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.
