New Deal Middle

Summary:

New Deal Middle is a public middle school serving grades 5-8 in the New Deal Independent School District in Texas, with a student population of 235 that is predominantly White (44.68%) and Hispanic (52.77%).

While New Deal Middle has consistently been rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, the school faces several key challenges. Its test scores are generally 10-20 percentage points lower than the Texas state averages, and it struggles with performance among certain student subgroups, particularly Hispanic, English Language Learner, Special Education, and At-Risk students. However, the school has maintained a 0% dropout rate, which is a positive metric. Additionally, over 70% of New Deal Middle students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income student population.

When compared to nearby middle schools, such as Shallowater Middle and Idalou Middle, New Deal Middle generally underperforms, with significantly lower test scores and rankings. Furthermore, the school's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past several years, suggesting a concerning trend of declining academic performance. These challenges, along with the significant performance gaps between student subgroups, indicate that addressing equity and improving overall academic achievement should be a priority for the school and district.

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.
