Desoto West Middle

Summary:

Desoto West Middle is a public magnet middle school serving 439 students in grades 6-8 in the Desoto Independent School District in Texas. The school has a predominantly African American student population (77.22%) and has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Texas middle schools over the past decade.

Desoto West Middle significantly underperforms compared to the state and its own district on standardized test scores, with only 30% of 6th graders proficient or better in reading and just 11.93% proficient in math, compared to state averages of 54.45% and 37.1%, respectively. The school also struggles to effectively serve its diverse student population, ranking in the bottom quartile of Texas middle schools for African American, Hispanic, and low socioeconomic status students. Additionally, Desoto West Middle has consistently higher dropout rates compared to the state average.

While Desoto West Middle receives higher-than-average per-student funding and has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, these factors have not translated into improved educational outcomes. The school's academic performance, subgroup outcomes, and high dropout rates are areas of significant concern. Nearby schools in the Desoto ISD and surrounding districts, such as Curtistene S. McCowan Middle, outperform Desoto West Middle across most academic metrics, suggesting the need for a comprehensive, data-driven approach to address the root causes of the school's underperformance.

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.
