Farley Middle

Summary:

Farley Middle is a public middle school in Hutto, Texas, serving 975 students in grades 6-8. It is part of the Hutto Independent School District, which is ranked 499 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Farley Middle has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with higher percentages of Hispanic (48.1%) and African American (12.21%) students. However, the school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 344 out of 1,987 Texas middle schools in 2015-2016 to 1,354 out of 2,361 in 2023-2024. Student performance varies significantly across different subgroups, with Asian and African American students performing relatively well, but the school struggling with its White, Hispanic, and low socioeconomic status populations. Farley Middle's test scores, particularly in mathematics, are generally lower than the district and state averages.

Compared to nearby schools like Hutto Middle, Pflugerville Middle, and schools in the Round Rock Independent School District, Farley Middle's performance is generally lower, with higher test scores, better statewide rankings, and lower dropout rates. The school's high percentage of free and reduced-lunch recipients (43.49% in 2022-2023) may contribute to these disparities, though its spending per student is comparable to nearby schools, and its student-teacher ratio is relatively low.

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.
