Ouida Baley Middle

Summary:

Ouida Baley Middle is a public middle school in Royse City, Texas, serving 934 students in grades 6-8. The school faces several challenges, including lower-than-average academic performance and persistent achievement gaps between student subgroups.

Ouida Baley Middle's academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is generally below the state and district averages. In 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in reading, math, science, and social studies are all lower than the Royse City Independent School District and Texas state averages. This trend has been consistent over the past few years, with the school's ranking among Texas middle schools declining from 619 in 2016-2017 to 1629 in 2023-2024. When compared to other middle schools in the surrounding area, such as Bobby Summers Middle and the middle schools in the Rockwall Independent School District, Ouida Baley Middle generally performs worse academically.

Ouida Baley Middle's performance gaps between different student subgroups are notable. The school's African American and Hispanic students perform significantly worse than their White and Asian peers on STAAR tests, with gaps ranging from 10 to 30 percentage points in some cases. This suggests that the school needs to develop targeted strategies to close these performance gaps and improve outcomes for all students.

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.
