Summary:

Dailey Middle is a public middle school in Austin, Texas, serving 834 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Del Valle Independent School District, which is ranked 878 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Dailey Middle has a predominantly Hispanic student population, with 78.66% Hispanic students.

Dailey Middle faces significant academic challenges, consistently performing below state and district averages on STAAR tests across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 14.63% of 6th-grade students at Dailey Middle were proficient or better in STAAR Mathematics, compared to 37.1% at the state level and 15.79% in the Del Valle ISD. The school has a low statewide ranking, placing in the bottom quartile of Texas middle schools, and its performance varies significantly across different student subgroups. While the school's African American students perform relatively better, the Hispanic, White, and economically disadvantaged students perform much worse.

When compared to nearby middle schools, such as Del Valle Middle and Manor New Technology Middle, Dailey Middle generally performs worse academically. However, the school stands out in its Algebra I performance, with 50% of students proficient or better in 2023-2024, significantly higher than the district (23.27%) and state (44.73%) averages. This suggests the school may be doing a better job in preparing students for advanced mathematics. Despite the higher spending per student, ranging from $10,054 to $10,232 over the past three school years, Dailey Middle's academic outcomes have not improved, indicating the need for targeted interventions and support to address the underlying issues and help students succeed.

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.
