Lone Star Middle

Summary:

Lone Star Middle is a public middle school located in San Angelo, Texas, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 903 students. The school is part of the San Angelo Independent School District, which is ranked 768 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lone Star Middle faces several challenges, including consistently underperforming the state and district averages on STAAR tests, particularly for Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Low Socioeconomic Status students. The school also has a relatively high dropout rate compared to nearby Lincoln Middle and Glenn Middle schools. However, Lone Star Middle's performance for Gifted and Talented students is relatively strong, ranking in the top half of Texas middle schools, and the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15.7, potentially indicating smaller class sizes and more individualized attention for students.

Interestingly, while Lone Star Middle and the other nearby schools are all part of the San Angelo Independent School District, there are significant differences in their academic performance and student demographics. For example, Glenn Middle outperforms Lone Star Middle across multiple metrics, including STAAR test scores and subgroup performance, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and support to address the disparities within the district.

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.
