Santa Fe Middle consistently underperforms compared to the state and district averages in STAAR (State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness) test scores across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in STAAR Reading ranged from 17.11% to 21.56%, compared to the state average of 52.08% to 54.45%. Similarly, in STAAR Mathematics, the proficiency rates at Santa Fe Middle were between 11.44% to 12.16%, while the state average was 31.89% to 40.23%. The school also has an extremely high percentage of students (98.91%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

When comparing Santa Fe Middle to other middle schools in the surrounding area, it consistently ranks lower in academic performance and state-wide rankings. For instance, Cleveland Middle, which is also part of the Cleveland ISD, outperforms Santa Fe Middle in STAAR test scores. However, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.9 and its outlier performance in Algebra I End of Course (EOC) exam, where the proficiency rate was 41.51% in 2023-2024, may indicate areas of potential improvement or focus for the school and district.

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.
