Driscoll Middle

Summary:

Driscoll Middle is a public middle school in San Antonio, Texas, serving 603 students in grades 6-8. It is part of the North East Independent School District, which is ranked 421 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

Driscoll Middle faces significant challenges, with a declining statewide ranking and lower-than-average test scores, particularly for minority and economically disadvantaged students. The school's performance lags behind several nearby middle schools within the same district, such as Lopez Middle, Bush Middle, and Hill Middle, which all have higher statewide rankings and better test scores across the board. Driscoll Middle's student population is more racially diverse, with a higher percentage of Hispanic students compared to the state average, as well as a lower percentage of White and Asian students.

While Driscoll Middle has maintained a relatively low dropout rate, its STAAR test scores are consistently lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, and Special Education students, who rank in the bottom quartile of Texas middle schools. Additionally, the school's ranking for Gifted and Talented students has fluctuated, suggesting inconsistencies in its ability to serve high-achieving students. Despite increased spending per student, Driscoll Middle's academic performance has not shown a corresponding improvement, indicating the need for a comprehensive review of its instructional practices, resource allocation, and support systems to better serve its diverse student body and improve overall student outcomes.

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.
