Rodriguez Middle

Summary:

Rodriguez Middle is a public middle school located in Oak Point, Texas, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 973 students. The school is part of the Denton Independent School District, which is ranked 565 out of 968 school districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Rodriguez Middle has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with a higher percentage of African American (42.03%) and Hispanic (23.12%) students. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is generally lower than the district and state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in reading and math are significantly below the district and state averages. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, ranking particularly low for Asian and Hispanic students, while performing better for African American and special education students compared to other Texas middle schools.

Compared to nearby schools like Crownover Middle and Stafford Middle, which are also in the Denton ISD, Rodriguez Middle generally underperforms academically, with lower test scores and rankings. The high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds and the school's diverse racial composition may be contributing factors to the lower academic performance at Rodriguez Middle. Addressing these challenges through targeted interventions, resource allocation, and a focus on equity could help improve the school's overall outcomes and provide a more equitable educational experience for all 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.
