Vernon Schrade Middle

Summary:

Vernon Schrade Middle is a public middle school in Rowlett, Texas, serving 891 students in grades 6-8 as part of the Garland Independent School District. While the school has a diverse student population, its academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is generally lower than the district and state averages, particularly for certain student subgroups.

Compared to nearby middle schools like J.W. Williams Middle and B.G. Hudson Middle, both in the Rockwall Independent School District, Vernon Schrade Middle performs below average. This may be partly due to the school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, which could contribute to the lower academic outcomes. Additionally, the school has significant performance gaps between different student subgroups, such as Asian and African American students, indicating a need for targeted interventions to address these disparities.

Over the past several years, Vernon Schrade Middle's overall ranking has declined, from a 3-star rating to only 1 star out of 5 on the SchoolDigger scale. This trend suggests that the school may be facing challenges in maintaining or improving its academic performance, and the district and school leadership may need to implement comprehensive strategies to support the diverse needs of the student population and improve educational outcomes for all learners.

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.

Open Quote This school is absolutely horrific. Worst middle school i've ever had the displeasure of dealing with.

Among MANY other things, they wouldn't allow my son to drop a Spanish course, which he was struggling with. That F has now followed him into Sachse high school where he has started out his high school year with an F gpa. I'm VERY upset and angry about this!

And, the allowed a girl student to drop the course, but not him. Thanks alot!

The principle in particular was terrible as well. He was out of school for a month and I emailed her frequently, asking for assignments he was missing, she repeatedly said she would get them, but never did.

Avoid this school at all costs. Close Quote

Open Quote My son attended Schrade and it was the very best public school I have ever chosen. The teachers are caring and has a concern for all of the children. They are informative, constructive and they treat your children the way teachers are suppose to treat them, like a student. No one crossed the boundaries and I have a great respect for them. I appreciate Schrade's Faculty and thank you for help shaping son's life.

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.
