Memorial Middle

Summary:

Memorial Middle is a public middle school located in Edinburg, Texas, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 1,065 students. The school has a predominantly Hispanic student population, with over 99% of students identifying as Hispanic.

Memorial Middle has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas middle schools, with its performance on STAAR assessments generally below the Edinburg Consolidated Independent School District and state averages, particularly in mathematics and social studies. However, the school excels in certain areas, such as Algebra I and English I Reading, where its proficiency rates significantly exceed the district and state averages. Memorial Middle's Hispanic and English Language Learner (ELL) students perform better than the overall school, ranking in the top half of Texas middle schools in these subgroups, but the school's performance for Special Education and Low Socioeconomic Status students is relatively weaker.

Within the Edinburg Consolidated Independent School District, Memorial Middle performs similarly to other middle schools, such as Elias Longoria Senior Middle and Betty Harwell Middle. However, the nearby South Middle School and South Texas Independent School District (ISD) Preparatory Academy significantly outperform Memorial Middle on academic measures, suggesting the potential for higher student achievement in the area.

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.
