Maypearl Middle

Summary:

Maypearl Middle is a public middle school serving 306 students in grades 6-8 in the Maypearl Independent School District. The school has a predominantly White student population (70.92%), with smaller percentages of Hispanic (24.51%) and other racial groups.

Maypearl Middle has shown strong academic performance, particularly in 8th grade STAAR tests, with 65.96% of students proficient or better in Reading, 68.37% in Mathematics, 53.19% in Science, and 50.54% in Social Studies - all above the state averages. The school also excels in its Gifted and Talented program, ranking 202 out of 1,488 Texas middle schools in this area, and in Algebra I, with 77.27% of students proficient or better, significantly higher than the state average of 44.73%. However, the school faces challenges in supporting the academic achievement of certain subgroups, such as Hispanic students, English Language Learners, special education students, and economically disadvantaged students, often ranking in the bottom half or bottom third of Texas middle schools for these populations.

While Maypearl Middle generally outperforms nearby schools like Howard J.H. and Coleman J.H. (both part of the Waxahachie ISD) in academic metrics, it lags behind higher-performing schools like Walnut Grove Middle and Earl & Marthalu Dieterich Middle (both part of the Midlothian ISD) in many areas. Additionally, Maypearl Middle's statewide ranking has declined from a high of 185 out of 2,043 Texas middle schools in 2014-2015 to 771 out of 2,361 in 2023-2024, despite maintaining a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, suggesting the school may be losing ground relative to other middle schools in the state.

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.
