Salvador Garcia Middle faces some academic challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom half of Texas middle schools. The school's performance on STAAR tests is generally below the district and state averages, particularly in mathematics. However, the school has performed better in certain subject areas, such as 8th-grade Reading. The school has shown varying performance across different student subgroups, performing relatively well for Hispanic students and English Language Learners but struggling with the performance of Special Education students.

When compared to other middle schools in the United Independent School District and the neighboring Laredo Independent School District, Raul Perales Middle and Antonio Gonzalez Middle have outperformed Salvador Garcia Middle on STAAR tests in recent years. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at Salvador Garcia Middle may be a significant factor in the school's academic performance, and the school's high percentage of English Language Learners may also contribute to its lower academic outcomes.

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.
