Nimitz Middle

Summary:

Nimitz Middle is a public magnet middle school located in San Antonio, Texas, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 1,071 students. The school is part of the North East Independent School District (NEISD), which is ranked 421 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Nimitz Middle has a significantly higher Hispanic student population (79.65%) compared to the surrounding schools and the state average, with lower percentages of White (11.02%) and African American (4.95%) students. Academically, the school's performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is generally lower than the NEISD district and state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in reading and math are 10-20 percentage points below the district and state averages. Nimitz Middle also struggles with higher dropout rates and a large population of economically disadvantaged students, with 73.02% receiving free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023.

When compared to other middle schools in the NEISD district and the nearby Northside ISD and San Antonio ISD, Nimitz Middle generally underperforms academically, particularly in mathematics. However, the school's relative strengths in certain student subgroups, such as White and multi-racial students, suggest potential areas for improvement. As a public magnet school, Nimitz Middle may have the opportunity to leverage its specialized programs and resources to attract a more diverse student population and improve academic 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.
