Summary:
The Bakerripley Community Schools district in Texas has only one middle school, Ripley House Middle Campus, which serves grades 6-8. This school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Texas middle schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating significant academic challenges.
Ripley House Middle Campus has a predominantly Hispanic student population (94.51%), with a very high percentage (96.95%) of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a high level of economic disadvantage. The school's academic performance is a major concern, with STAAR test scores significantly lower than state averages across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in Mathematics, proficiency rates range from 15.91% to 19.57%, compared to the state averages of 31.89% to 40.23%.
Despite the school's low academic performance, its per-student spending is higher than the state average, raising questions about the effective allocation of resources. The school's student-teacher ratio of 12.7 is lower than the state average, but this has not translated into improved student outcomes. Overall, the data suggests that Ripley House Middle Campus is struggling to provide a high-quality education to its economically disadvantaged student population and may require targeted interventions and additional support to improve student learning and achievement.
