Eldorado Middle School has shown a mixed performance on STAAR tests, with some areas of strength, such as 6th grade reading and 8th grade Algebra I, where the school outperformed the state average. However, the school has struggled in other subject areas and grade levels, and its performance has been relatively consistent over the past few years.

Additionally, despite having a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, the school has performed relatively well for this subgroup, ranking in the top 25% of Texas middle schools.

While Eldorado Middle School has consistently performed well for its White and male student populations, it has faced challenges in supporting its English Language Learner and Special Education student populations, ranking in the bottom 10% of Texas middle schools for these subgroups. This indicates a need for the school to focus on improving educational outcomes and support for these vulnerable student groups. Overall, Eldorado Middle School has several strengths, but also faces ongoing challenges in maintaining consistent academic achievement across all subject areas and grade levels.

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.
