Magoffin Middle

Summary:

Magoffin Middle is a public middle school in El Paso, Texas, serving around 540 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the El Paso Independent School District, which has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Unfortunately, Magoffin Middle has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Texas middle schools, with a 1-star rating for the past several years.

Magoffin Middle faces significant academic challenges, with consistently low test scores across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, the school's proficiency rates in reading and math were around 30-40% lower than the district and state averages in 2023-2024. However, the school has relatively low dropout rates, ranging from 0.0% to 0.4% over the past few years, which is comparable to or better than the nearby schools. Additionally, Magoffin Middle has an extremely high percentage of students (over 95%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

While Magoffin Middle struggles academically, some nearby schools within the same district, such as Wiggs Middle and Hornedo Middle, perform significantly better and have higher state rankings. Additionally, the public charter school Idea Mesa Hills College Preparatory outperforms Magoffin Middle on most academic measures, despite serving a similar demographic of students. These comparisons suggest that factors beyond just district-level policies may be contributing to the differences in school performance.

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.
