Ad Wheat Middle

Summary:

Ad Wheat Middle is a public middle school located in Cleburne, Texas, serving 703 students in grades 7-8. The school is part of the Cleburne Independent School District, which is ranked 693 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ad Wheat Middle faces significant challenges, with consistently low statewide rankings, subpar test scores, and elevated dropout rates. The school has a diverse racial makeup, with an even split between White and Hispanic students, but its performance varies significantly across different student subgroups. African American and English Language Learner students perform relatively better, while Hispanic, White, and low socioeconomic status students perform much worse. The school's 8th grade mathematics proficiency rate of 12.98% is particularly concerning, as it is well below the state average of 40.23%.

Compared to nearby schools, Ad Wheat Middle generally underperforms. For example, Lowell Smith Junior Intermediate, which is in the same district, ranks slightly higher at 2 stars. Schools in the Burleson Independent School District and Joshua Independent School District, such as STEAM Middle and Tom and Nita Nichols Middle, significantly outperform Ad Wheat Middle, ranking 4-5 stars. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at Ad Wheat Middle, with 75.82% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, likely contributes to the school's overall lower performance.

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.
