Spring Branch Middle consistently ranks in the top 20% of Texas middle schools, with STAAR test scores significantly higher than district and state averages, particularly in reading and mathematics. The school's Algebra I end-of-course exam proficiency rate is consistently around 97-98%, far exceeding the district and state averages. While the school has a diverse student population, it has a relatively low percentage of economically disadvantaged students compared to nearby schools. The school's White and multi-racial student subgroups consistently rank in the top 10-15% of Texas middle schools, and the Asian student subgroup ranks in the top 30-50%, but the Hispanic and African American student subgroups perform less impressively, ranking in the bottom half or bottom third of Texas middle schools.

When compared to other middle schools in the area, such as Memorial Middle and Cornerstone Academy, Spring Branch Middle stands out as a high-performing school. However, the significant disparities in performance between racial/ethnic subgroups at Spring Branch Middle suggest the need for targeted interventions and support to ensure equitable outcomes for all 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.
