Frank Seale Middle

Summary:

Frank Seale Middle is a public middle school located in Midlothian, Texas, serving 671 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Midlothian Independent School District, which is ranked 170 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Frank Seale Middle has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the years, dropping from 211 out of 1,987 Texas middle schools in 2013-2014 to 1,212 out of 2,361 in 2023-2024, the school's performance on STAAR tests is generally lower than the district and state averages across various subjects and grade levels. The school's performance is particularly low for Hispanic students, who rank in the bottom quartile of Texas middle schools in reading and math. Additionally, the school struggles with achievement gaps for English Language Learners, Special Education students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

When compared to other middle schools in the area, such as Mary Lillard I S, Curtistene S McCowan Middle, and Danny Jones Middle, Frank Seale Middle generally underperforms on academic measures, particularly in reading and math. This highlights the need for the school to learn from the practices and strategies of its higher-performing peers to improve its own performance and better serve the Midlothian 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.
