Field Middle

Summary:

Field Middle is a public middle school located in Farmers Branch, Texas, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 963 students. The school is part of the Carrollton-Farmers Branch Independent School District, which is ranked 407 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 3-star rating.

Field Middle's academic performance has fluctuated over the past decade, with a current statewide ranking of 1476 out of 2,361 Texas middle schools. While the school's proficiency rates on STAAR tests are generally below the district and state averages, it stands out in its performance on the STAAR Algebra I End-of-Course exam, where its proficiency rate is significantly higher than the district and state averages. However, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with African American students performing better than Hispanic students.

One notable characteristic of Field Middle is its high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 80.06% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023. This is significantly higher than the district average and suggests that the school may need to allocate additional resources and support to address the unique challenges faced by its student population. When compared to other middle schools in the area, Field Middle generally performs below the Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD average, but its performance is still better than some of the nearby schools in the Dallas ISD.

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.
