Vandeventer Middle

Summary:

Vandeventer Middle is a public middle school in Frisco, Texas, serving 982 students in grades 6-8. As part of the highly-ranked Frisco Independent School District, Vandeventer Middle consistently performs among the top 35 middle schools in the state, with exceptional academic achievement and a diverse student population.

Vandeventer Middle's academic performance is truly outstanding, with STAAR test scores significantly higher than state and district averages across all grade levels and subjects. In 2023-2024, the school had over 80% of students proficient or better in both Reading and Mathematics, far surpassing the state averages. This strong performance extends across various student subgroups, including female, male, Asian, and English Language Learner students. The school's racial diversity, with a significant Asian student population, is also noteworthy, as it is higher than nearby schools like Fowler Middle and Nelson Middle, which also rank among the top Texas middle schools.

Interestingly, Vandeventer Middle's exceptional academic performance is likely influenced by its relatively affluent student population, as indicated by the low percentage of free and reduced-lunch recipients. This socioeconomic factor, combined with the school's diverse student body and wide range of extracurricular opportunities, contribute to its standout reputation within the Frisco Independent School District and the broader Texas education system.

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.
