While Merkel Middle has a higher percentage of White students (64.52%) compared to the nearby schools, which have more diverse student populations, the school's academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is generally lower than the state and district averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in reading and math are below the state and district averages. Additionally, Merkel Middle has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas middle schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger for most years, placing it below the nearby schools, such as Wylie East J.H. and Wylie West J.H., which have higher rankings and ratings.

Merkel Middle's performance varies across different student groups, with the school performing relatively well for low socioeconomic status students but struggling with other subgroups, such as White students and gifted and talented students, who rank in the bottom half of Texas middle schools. The school has also experienced a slight increase in dropout rates, from 0.0% in 2019-2020 to 0.6% in 2021-2022, which is higher than the nearby schools. Despite the higher spending per student at Merkel Middle compared to the nearby schools, the school's lower academic performance suggests the need for a closer examination of resource allocation and the effectiveness of the school's spending.

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.
