Chisholm Trail Middle

Summary:

Chisholm Trail Middle is a public middle school located in Rhome, Texas, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 684 students. The school is part of the Northwest Independent School District, which is ranked 244 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Chisholm Trail Middle faces several challenges, including lower academic performance compared to the district and state averages, declining statewide rankings, and achievement gaps among different student subgroups. The school's performance is generally weaker than its nearby counterparts within the Northwest Independent School District, such as Gene Pike Middle and Truett Wilson Middle. When compared to schools in the neighboring Azle Independent School District, Chisholm Trail Middle's performance is mixed, with the school outperforming some Azle ISD schools, such as Azle J.H. South, in certain subject areas, but lagging behind others, like Santo Forte J.H., in overall academic achievement.

However, Chisholm Trail Middle's strong performance for Gifted and Talented students and its relatively low dropout rates are positive indicators. Addressing the academic needs of the school's diverse student population, which has seen a gradual shift in racial composition with a decrease in White students and an increase in Hispanic students, and implementing targeted interventions may be crucial for improving Chisholm Trail Middle's overall performance and competitiveness.

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.
