Summary:
Griffin Middle is a public middle school located in The Colony, Texas, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 755 students. It is part of the Lewisville Independent School District, which is ranked 298 out of 968 school districts in Texas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
While Griffin Middle has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with a higher percentage of Hispanic (40.4%) and African American (16.69%) students, its academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is generally lower than the district and state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the percentage of students proficient or better in STAAR Reading for 6th, 7th, and 8th grades was 55.16%, 46.89%, and 56%, respectively, compared to the district's 65.24%, 64.65%, and 65.44%. Additionally, the school's performance for certain student subgroups, such as Asian, African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learners, is significantly lower than the state averages for those subgroups. However, Griffin Middle's special education students perform relatively well, with the school ranking in the top 18% of Texas middle schools for this subgroup in 2022-2023.
The declining performance of Griffin Middle is concerning, as its statewide ranking has steadily decreased from 640 out of 2,080 Texas middle schools in 2017-2018 to 1,391 out of 2,361 in 2023-2024, with a corresponding decrease in its SchoolDigger rating from 3 stars to 2 stars. Nearby schools within the same district, such as Killian Middle and Arbor Creek Middle, consistently outperform Griffin Middle on academic measures, highlighting the potential for improvement at Griffin Middle. Addressing the challenges faced by Griffin Middle, including the growing population of economically disadvantaged students and the significant disparities in subgroup performance, will require a comprehensive approach from the school, district, and community.
