Summary:

Briesemeister Middle consistently underperforms compared to the state and district averages on STAAR tests, with proficiency rates ranging from 39.02% to 51.21% in STAAR Reading and 8.89% to 27.99% in STAAR Mathematics, compared to state averages of 52.08% to 54.45% and 31.89% to 40.23%, respectively. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Texas middle schools, maintaining a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade. Briesemeister Middle's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with lower proficiency rates for African American students and English Language Learners.

When compared to nearby middle schools, such as Oakrun Middle and Church Hill Middle, both part of the Comal Independent School District, Briesemeister Middle is clearly underperforming academically. The school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, which is significantly higher than the state and district averages, may be a contributing factor to its lower academic performance. Addressing these challenges through targeted interventions and district-level support could be crucial in improving the school's overall performance and providing a better educational experience for its students.

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.
