Callisburg Middle has generally performed better than the state average on STAAR tests, particularly in Reading and Mathematics. The school also has a strong Gifted and Talented program, ranking in the top 12% of Texas middle schools for this student group. Additionally, Callisburg Middle has maintained a 0% dropout rate for several years, which is significantly lower than the state average. However, the school's statewide ranking has declined in recent years, dropping from the top 25% of Texas middle schools in 2015-2016 to the middle 50% in 2023-2024. This suggests that the school may be struggling to keep pace with improvements in other Texas middle schools.

Compared to nearby middle schools, such as Valley View Middle and Gainesville J.H., Callisburg Middle generally outperforms them in academic metrics. However, the school lags behind S&S Cons Middle and Whitesboro Middle in several areas, such as STAAR proficiency rates and statewide rankings. Additionally, Callisburg Middle's performance on STAAR tests varies significantly across different student subgroups, with White students consistently outperforming their Hispanic and economically disadvantaged peers, indicating potential achievement gaps that the school may need to address.

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.
