Sabine Middle

Summary:

Sabine Middle is a public middle school located in Gladewater, Texas, serving grades 6-8 with a student population of 363 and is part of the Gladewater Independent School District.

Sabine Middle has consistently performed above the state average in STAAR Reading and Mathematics assessments, with proficiency rates as high as 58.21% in 7th grade Reading, compared to the state average of 52.08%. The school has also shown strong performance for several student subgroups, ranking in the top 25% of Texas middle schools for female students, Hispanic students, and low socioeconomic status students, as well as the top 10% for gifted and talented students. Additionally, Sabine Middle has maintained a 0% dropout rate for the past 5 school years, significantly lower than the state average.

While Sabine Middle generally outperforms nearby schools in the Winona, Big Sandy, and Gladewater districts, it lags behind the higher-performing White Oak Middle and Union Grove J.H. schools. This suggests that Sabine Middle is a relatively strong performer in its local area, but there may be opportunities for further improvement, especially in addressing the needs of its significant population of low-socioeconomic status students, who make up nearly 50% of the student body.

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.
