Del Valle Middle

Summary:

Del Valle Middle is a public middle school in El Paso, Texas, serving 1,122 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Ysleta Independent School District, which is ranked 277 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 4-star rating.

While Del Valle Middle has a predominantly Hispanic student population, the school has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state in academic metrics. For example, the percentage of students proficient or better in STAAR Reading at Del Valle Middle was significantly lower than the district and state averages. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the years, currently sitting at 1475 out of 2361 Texas middle schools, with a 2-star rating. The school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with particularly low rankings for White students.

When comparing Del Valle Middle to other middle schools in the Ysleta Independent School District, such as Eastwood Middle and Hanks Middle, Del Valle Middle generally underperforms in academic metrics, including STAAR test scores and statewide rankings. The school's high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with over 83% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, likely contributes to its academic challenges. Addressing these issues will likely require a multifaceted approach that considers the unique needs and circumstances of the school's student population.

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.
