Frank Stone Middle

Summary:

Frank Stone Middle is a public middle school in Paris, TX, serving 528 students in grades 6-8. While the school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking in recent years, dropping from 610 out of 2,252 Texas middle schools in 2020-2021 to 923 out of 2,361 in 2023-2024, it still has some notable strengths and areas for improvement.

One of the school's bright spots is its exceptional performance in Algebra I, with 97.06% of students proficient, significantly outpacing the Paris Independent School District (52.07%) and the state (44.73%). However, the school struggles in other math subjects, with proficiency rates below the state average. Conversely, Frank Stone Middle generally performs above the state average in reading, with 8th-grade students particularly excelling in science and social studies.

The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Hispanic students performing relatively well but African American, White, and special education students struggling. This suggests the school may need to focus on addressing the unique needs of these underperforming subgroups. Additionally, the school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 54.92%, indicates a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

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.
