Guillen Middle

Summary:

Guillen Middle is a public middle school in El Paso, Texas, serving 502 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the El Paso Independent School District, which is ranked 610 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Guillen Middle has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Texas middle schools over the past decade, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Guillen Middle stands out for several key reasons. It has an extremely high Hispanic student population, ranging from 98.59% to 99.09% over the past 3 years, which is significantly higher than nearby schools like Hornedo Middle. Academically, Guillen Middle's performance is well below state and district averages, with only 20% of 6th graders proficient in STAAR Reading and just 8.33% proficient in Math. The school also has relatively high dropout rates and an extremely high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 94.96% to 99%.

When comparing Guillen Middle to the surrounding schools, it is clear the school is an outlier in terms of academic performance and student demographics. For example, Hornedo Middle, just 8.6 miles away, has significantly higher test scores and a more diverse student population. These stark differences raise questions about equity and access to quality education within the El Paso Independent School District.

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.
