Del Rio Middle

Summary:

Del Rio Middle School is a public middle school in Del Rio, Texas, serving 1,478 students in grades 7-8. The school is part of the San Felipe-Del Rio Consolidated Independent School District, which is ranked 631 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Del Rio Middle has a significantly higher Hispanic student population (93.17%) compared to nearby San Felipe Memorial Middle (92.28%) and Heritage Academy Of Del Rio Middle (94.25%), the school consistently ranks in the bottom half of Texas middle schools, placing it in the bottom 30% statewide. This is largely due to the school's struggles with Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Special Education students, who perform significantly below state and district averages on STAAR tests.

Despite maintaining a relatively low dropout rate, Del Rio Middle's test scores are consistently below state and district averages across all subjects and grade levels. For example, the school's 7th grade reading proficiency rate was 39.43% in 2023-2024, compared to the state average of 52.08%. To address these challenges, the school and San Felipe-Del Rio Consolidated Independent School District should consider implementing targeted interventions, exploring best practices from higher-performing nearby schools, and addressing the needs of the school's large economically disadvantaged student population (73.88% in 2022-2023).

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.
