Somerville Intermediate

Summary:

Somerville Intermediate is a middle school located in Somerville, Texas, serving grades 5-7 with a total enrollment of 109 students. The school is part of the Somerville Independent School District, which is ranked 903 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Somerville Intermediate has a relatively even split between White (39.45%) and Hispanic (39.45%) students, with a smaller percentage of African American students (13.76%). However, the school's academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is significantly lower than the state and nearby school averages. For example, in 2023-2024, only 19.05% of 5th graders were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to the state average of 53.96%. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas middle schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, in contrast to the nearby Wellborn Middle and Pecan Trail Intermediate, which have 4- and 5-star ratings, respectively.

Somerville Intermediate's performance on STAAR tests varies significantly across different student subgroups, with White and female students tending to perform better than African American and Hispanic students, as well as male students. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students (72.48% in 2022-2023) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low socioeconomic status of the student population. These factors, combined with the school's declining academic performance over the past few years, suggest the need for significant interventions to improve student learning outcomes and address the unique challenges faced by the Somerville Intermediate 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.
