Summary:
Canutillo Middle is a public middle school located in Canutillo, Texas, serving around 700 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Canutillo Independent School District, which is ranked 330 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Canutillo Middle has a significantly higher Hispanic student population (over 93%) compared to the state average and nearby schools. While the school's test scores have been improving in recent years, they still lag behind the state and district averages, particularly in mathematics. For example, in 2023-2024, only 8.89% of 6th graders were proficient or better in STAAR/Mathematics, compared to 37.1% statewide. Canutillo Middle's rankings for specific student subgroups, such as English Language Learners, Special Education, and Gifted and Talented students, are generally in the bottom half of Texas middle schools, indicating room for improvement in serving these populations. However, the school has maintained relatively low dropout rates, ranging from 0.0% to 0.6% over the past several years, and has increased its spending per student from $9,991 in 2019-2020 to $11,846 in 2020-2021.
Compared to other middle schools in the Canutillo Independent School District, such as Jose J Alderete Middle, Canutillo Middle's performance is generally on par or slightly below. However, when compared to the higher-performing middle schools in the El Paso Independent School District (e.g., Hornedo Middle), Canutillo Middle lags significantly in areas like test scores and overall school rankings. This may be due to the school's high percentage of students (over 60%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income student population. Despite these challenges, Canutillo Middle's migrant student population has performed relatively well, ranking in the top quartile of Texas middle schools for this subgroup in recent years.
