Griffin Middle

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.

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.
