Groves Middle has a more diverse student population compared to some nearby schools, with a higher percentage of Hispanic (37.66%) and Asian (3.29%) students. The school generally performs better than the state average in STAAR Reading and Mathematics assessments, particularly in 6th and 7th grade, but lags behind the district average in several grade levels and subject areas. Groves Middle's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students consistently ranking lower than their peers. The school has maintained relatively low dropout rates, ranging from 0.0% to 1.3% over the past few years, which is better than the state average. However, Groves Middle has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (55.26%) compared to some nearby schools, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students.

Groves Middle's performance is generally on par with or slightly below the nearby Port Neches Middle School, which is also part of the Port Neches-Groves ISD. However, the school lags behind the higher-performing Wilson Middle and Central Middle schools in the neighboring Nederland Independent School District. Groves Middle's higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students may contribute to its relatively lower performance compared to some of the more affluent nearby schools, suggesting that addressing the needs of this population could be a key focus for the school.

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.
