Lago Vista Middle

Summary:

Lago Vista Middle is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in Lago Vista, Texas, with a student population of 433. The school is part of the Lago Vista Independent School District, which is ranked 307 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lago Vista Middle stands out for its strong academic performance, particularly in Reading and Mathematics, where it exceeds the state average on STAAR tests. For example, in 2023-2024, 51.16% of 6th graders were proficient or better in Reading, compared to the state average of 54.45%, and 53.13% were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 37.1%. The school also ranks highly for its Gifted and Talented student population, ranking 161 out of 1,481 Texas middle schools in 2022-2023 with a 4-star rating. Additionally, Lago Vista Middle has maintained a 0.0% dropout rate for several years, significantly lower than the state average.

While Lago Vista Middle performs well overall, there are some areas for improvement, such as supporting its diverse student population, including Hispanic students and English Language Learners, whose performance lags behind the school's overall results and the state averages. Compared to nearby schools, such as Lake Travis Middle and Canyon Ridge Middle, which consistently rank higher in the state and have stronger test scores across multiple subject areas, Lago Vista Middle has room for growth. However, the school's commitment to investing in resources, with spending per student increasing from $8,417 in 2018-2019 to $9,215 in 2020-2021, and its relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.8 in 2022-2023, suggest a dedication to providing a high-quality education for the Lago Vista community.

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.
