Lyles Middle

Summary:

Lyles Middle is a public middle school located in Garland, Texas, serving 545 students in grade 8 as part of the Garland Independent School District. The school faces significant challenges, with a student population that is predominantly African American (40%) and Hispanic (43.3%), and a very high percentage (over 87%) of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.

Academically, Lyles Middle consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas middle schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years. Its performance on STAAR tests is significantly lower than the district and state averages across all subject areas. Interestingly, the school's English Language Learner (ELL) and special education students perform better than the overall school, ranking in the middle or upper-middle range of Texas middle schools in these subgroups. However, the school's gifted and talented students perform relatively poorly compared to their peers in other schools, ranking in the bottom half of Texas middle schools.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Sellers Middle, O'Banion Middle, and Classical Center at Brandenburg Middle, Lyles Middle generally underperforms across academic metrics, despite spending significantly more per student ($12,442 in 2020-2021) than the surrounding schools, which spend around $9,000 to $10,000 per student. This suggests that factors beyond just funding, such as curriculum, instruction, and school culture, may be contributing to the school's underperformance.

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.
