Mt Vernon Middle

Summary:

Mt Vernon Middle is a public middle school serving grades 5-8 in the Mount Vernon Independent School District in Texas, with a student population of 472 that is predominantly White (63.35%) with significant Hispanic (27.75%) and smaller percentages of other racial groups.

Mt Vernon Middle has generally performed well on state assessments, with several grade levels and subject areas exceeding the state and district averages. For example, in 2023-2024, 6th grade reading proficiency was 77.95% compared to the state average of 54.45%, and Algebra I end-of-course proficiency was 97.06% compared to the state average of 44.73%. The school has also maintained very low dropout rates, ranging from 0.0% to 0.3% over the past several years, which is significantly lower than the state average. However, the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, with 71.61% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023, which is higher than the state average.

When compared to nearby middle schools, such as Rivercrest J.H. and Winnsboro J.H., Mt Vernon Middle generally performs better on state assessments, particularly in reading and mathematics. This suggests that Mt Vernon Middle may be providing a stronger academic program than some of its neighboring schools. However, the school faces challenges in addressing racial and socioeconomic disparities in student performance, which will require a focused and comprehensive approach to ensure equitable educational outcomes for all students.

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.
