The school has a diverse student body, with a racial makeup that is predominantly White (54.5%), followed by Hispanic (34.45%), and smaller percentages of other racial groups.

Sanger Middle consistently performs above the state average on STAAR (State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness) tests, particularly in Reading and Algebra I. In 2023-2024, the school's STAAR Reading proficiency rates for 7th and 8th grade were 61.57% and 53.37%, respectively, compared to the state averages of 52.08% and 54.09%. Additionally, Sanger Middle's STAAR Algebra I proficiency rate was an impressive 94.74%, significantly higher than the state average of 44.73%.

However, the school's Hispanic, multi-racial, English Language Learner (ELL), and Special Education students struggle, ranking in the bottom 50% or lower of Texas middle schools for these subgroups. The school's Gifted and Talented (GT) program appears to be a strength, with GT students consistently performing at a high level and ranking in the top 10% of Texas middle schools for this subgroup in 2020-2021.

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.
