Goodnight Middle

Summary:

Goodnight Middle is a public middle school located in San Marcos, Texas, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 866 students. The school is part of the San Marcos Consolidated Independent School District, which is ranked 670 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Goodnight Middle faces several key challenges, including a high-needs student population, declining academic performance, and significant achievement gaps among student subgroups. The school has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (84.53%) compared to the state average and nearby schools, and consistently ranks in the bottom half of Texas middle schools, with performance on STAAR tests significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. Subgroups such as African American, Hispanic, English Language Learner, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status students consistently rank in the bottom quarter or bottom half of Texas middle schools. While Goodnight Middle maintains relatively low dropout rates, it has a very high percentage of students (over 80%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

In comparison, some nearby schools in the Comal Independent School District and Hays Consolidated Independent School District perform significantly better, with higher rankings, test scores, and subgroup performance. Addressing the challenges faced by Goodnight Middle, such as improving programming and support for advanced learners, will be crucial for the school to better serve its community.

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.
