Summary:

Dulles Middle is a public middle school located in Sugar Land, Texas, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 1,359 students. The school is part of the Fort Bend Independent School District, which is ranked 356 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Dulles Middle consistently performs above the state and district averages in STAAR test scores across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, Dulles Middle's 8th-grade students scored 65.65% proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to the district's 63.71% and the state's 54.09%. The school's Gifted and Talented program is particularly strong, ranking 19th out of 1,481 Texas middle schools in 2022-2023, with a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. Dulles Middle also has a diverse student population, with a relatively even distribution across White (15.45%), African American (27.23%), Hispanic (25.75%), and Asian (26.71%) students, and has maintained low dropout rates, ranging from 0.2% to 1.7% over the past five years, which are lower than the state and district averages.

Dulles Middle's academic performance is generally stronger than the nearby schools in the Fort Bend ISD district, such as First Colony Middle and Quail Valley Middle, which also have high-performing student populations. However, the school's performance on STAAR tests varies across different student subgroups, with Gifted and Talented students and White students consistently performing at the top, while the performance of Hispanic, African American, and English Language Learner students is more mixed. Despite serving a relatively high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (55.92% in 2022-2023), Dulles Middle has been able to achieve strong academic results, which may be attributed to its effective strategies and increased spending per student, from $8,275 in 2018-2019 to $8,889 in 2020-2021.

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.
