Danbury Middle stands out for its consistently strong academic performance, with students outperforming the state average on STAAR assessments across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, 68.18% of 6th graders at Danbury Middle were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to the state average of 54.45%. The school also has a robust Gifted and Talented program, ranking 17th out of 1,430 Texas middle schools in 2017-2018 and 76th out of 1,501 in 2020-2021. Additionally, Danbury Middle has maintained a 0% dropout rate for several years, significantly lower than the state average.

While Danbury Middle's academic achievements are impressive, the school's student population is less diverse than nearby schools, with a significantly higher percentage of white students (70.66%). This racial imbalance may warrant further examination to ensure equitable access for all students. However, the school's small class sizes, with a student-teacher ratio ranging from 12.3 to 14.3, likely contribute to its strong academic performance and ability to support its students.

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.
