Brewer Middle

Summary:

Brewer Middle is a public middle school located in White Settlement, Texas, serving grades 7-8 with an enrollment of 1,047 students. The school is part of the White Settlement Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 441 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Brewer Middle faces several challenges, including lower academic performance, particularly in mathematics, and inconsistent performance across different student subgroups. The school's diverse student population, with a higher percentage of Hispanic students (47.18%) and a lower percentage of White students (34.86%) compared to the surrounding schools, suggests the need for targeted interventions and support. Brewer Middle's performance on STAAR tests is generally lower than the state and district averages, with only 27.37% of 7th-grade students and 15.76% of 8th-grade students proficient or better in STAAR Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 31.89% and 40.23%, respectively. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Asian and Hispanic students generally performing better than African American and White students, and English Language Learners and Gifted and Talented students outperforming their peers in other subgroups.

Comparing Brewer Middle to nearby schools highlights the importance of addressing these issues and identifying best practices that can be implemented to help the school and its students succeed. For example, Tannahill Intermediate (same district) and the charter school Uplift Elevate Preparatory Middle outperform Brewer Middle on most STAAR tests, while International Newcomer Academy and Lucyle Collins Middle perform worse. Brewer Middle's performance has been inconsistent over the years, with the school's ranking among Texas middle schools fluctuating between 824 and 1501 over the past 10 years.

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.

Open Quote I would give it 0 stars if I could. Poor quality, low budget, and an overall waste of time. Awful dual language program. Lily took Spanish 1 and 2 at this place and can hardly do proper sentence structure. As a parent, I'll just say it, send them to Aledo. Close Quote

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.
