Terrell Wells Middle

Summary:

Terrell Wells Middle is a public middle school in San Antonio, Texas, serving grades 6-8 with a student population of 661, the majority of whom are Hispanic. The school has consistently underperformed compared to state and district averages, earning a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years.

Terrell Wells Middle's academic performance is a significant concern, with proficiency rates on STAAR tests well below state and district averages in reading, math, science, and social studies. The school also has a concerning trend of increasing dropout rates, rising from 0.3% in 2017-2018 to 1.5% in 2021-2022. Additionally, over 88% of Terrell Wells Middle's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. However, the school does have a relatively low student-teacher ratio, suggesting the potential for more individualized attention.

When comparing Terrell Wells Middle to other nearby schools in the Harlandale Independent School District, it becomes clear that the academic performance issues are not isolated to Terrell Wells. The other middle schools in the district, such as A Leal Junior Middle, Harlandale Middle, and Kingsborough Middle, also struggle with low proficiency rates and poor statewide rankings. This suggests that systemic factors, such as resource allocation, teacher quality, and community support, may be contributing to the academic challenges faced by Terrell Wells Middle and other schools in the district.

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.
