Texas Middle

Summary:

Texas Middle is a public middle school located in Texarkana, Texas, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 1,413 students. The school is part of the Texarkana Independent School District, which is ranked 597 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Texas Middle faces several key challenges, including high dropout rates, low STAAR test scores, particularly in mathematics, and significant performance gaps among different student subgroups. The school's student population is 29.87% White, 45.44% African American, 17.27% Hispanic, 0.85% Asian, 0.42% Native American, and 6.16% two or more races. Texas Middle has seen a steady decline in its statewide ranking, from a 3-star rating in 2020-2021 to a 1-star rating in the current year, indicating ongoing issues that require attention. Compared to nearby middle schools, such as New Boston Middle, Hooks J.H., and Redwater J.H., Texas Middle is underperforming academically.

One bright spot for Texas Middle is its exceptional performance in STAAR EOC Algebra I, where 93.26% of students were proficient or better in the 2023-2024 school year, significantly higher than the state and district averages. However, the school's overall STAAR test scores, particularly in mathematics, are significantly lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels. Additionally, the significant performance gaps between different racial subgroups at Texas Middle, particularly the low rankings of African American and multi-racial students, suggest that the school may need to implement targeted interventions and support systems to address these disparities.

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.
