Salvador Sanchez Middle

Summary:

Salvador Sanchez Middle is a public middle school in El Paso, Texas, serving 615 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Socorro Independent School District, which has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Salvador Sanchez Middle has a predominantly Hispanic student population (97.4%), its academic performance lags behind both district and state averages on STAAR assessments, particularly in mathematics. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated between the bottom and middle tiers of Texas middle schools, with a 2-star or 3-star rating. Performance gaps are evident among different student subgroups, with Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Special Education students struggling more than their peers. However, the school has maintained a 0% dropout rate, indicating strong student retention.

Compared to nearby schools like Col John O Ensor Middle and Clint Junior High School, Salvador Sanchez Middle underperforms on academic measures. This may be influenced by the school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (86.5%), as research has shown a correlation between poverty and lower educational outcomes. Despite increased spending per student over the years, the school's academic performance has not shown a corresponding improvement, suggesting that factors beyond just funding may be at play.

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.
