Sunray Middle

Summary:

Sunray Middle is a public middle school located in Sunray, Texas, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 160 students. The school is part of the Sunray Collegiate Independent School District, which is ranked 420 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Sunray Middle has a higher percentage of Hispanic students (57.5%) compared to the state average, and a lower percentage of White students (40.62%) compared to the state average. The school's performance, as measured by its statewide ranking and SchoolDigger rating, has been inconsistent over the years, ranging from high-performing to below-average. While the school's overall academic performance is mixed, its 7th-grade Reading scores are above the state average, suggesting some strengths in this subject area. Sunray Middle also has a high percentage of students from low-income families, as indicated by the free and reduced-price lunch rates, which may contribute to the school's academic challenges.

When compared to nearby middle schools in the Dumas Independent School District, such as Dumas J.H. and Dumas Intermediate, Sunray Middle faces similar challenges in serving a high-poverty student population and achieving consistent academic performance. The differences in student demographics and test scores among these schools highlight the need for tailored interventions and support to address the unique needs of each school 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.
