George Washington Middle

Summary:

George Washington Middle is a public middle school in Laredo, Texas, serving 1,112 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the United Independent School District, which is ranked 310 out of 968 school districts in the state.

George Washington Middle has shown a mixed academic performance compared to the district and state averages. While the school outperformed the district and state in 8th grade Reading and Science, it struggled in 6th and 7th grade Mathematics. The school's performance has also fluctuated over the years, with a significant dip during the COVID-19 pandemic. Interestingly, the school generally outperforms other middle schools in the United Independent School District, such as United South Middle and Antonio Gonzalez Middle, but lags behind higher-performing schools like Trautmann Middle and United Middle.

George Washington Middle has a predominantly Hispanic student population (98.38%) and a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (77.61%). The school has shown strong performance among its White and Hispanic students, but has struggled with its English Language Learner (ELL) and Special Education student populations. These equity concerns, along with the school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, may contribute to the academic challenges faced by George Washington Middle. Continued efforts to improve equity and academic outcomes for all student subgroups will be crucial for the school's future success.

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.
