Stafford Middle

Summary:

Stafford Middle is a public middle school in Stafford, Texas, serving 771 students in grades 6-8. The school faces several challenges, including lower academic performance compared to state and district averages, uneven outcomes across student subgroups, and a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.

Stafford Middle's student population is more racially diverse than the state average, with a higher percentage of African American (41.5%) and Hispanic (48.51%) students. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is generally lower than the state and district averages. For example, the percentage of students proficient or better in STAAR Reading ranged from 31.98% to 42.56%, compared to the state average of 52.08% to 54.45%. Similarly, the percentage of students proficient or better in STAAR Mathematics ranged from 18.47% to 27.75%, compared to the state average of 31.89% to 40.23%. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with the rankings for African American students generally higher than for other subgroups.

Stafford Middle's performance is lower than that of nearby schools in the Fort Bend Independent School District (ISD), such as First Colony Middle, Dulles Middle, and Quail Valley Middle, which have higher STAAR test scores, better subgroup performance, and higher overall rankings. The school's performance is also lower than the overall Stafford Msd district, suggesting that the district may need to focus on improving academic outcomes at the middle school level.

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.
