Middle Schools in Austin Achieve Public Schools

The Austin Achieve Public Schools district has only one middle school, Austin Achieve Middle, which serves students in grades 6-8. This school faces significant academic challenges, with consistently low proficiency rates on state assessments compared to district and state averages.

Austin Achieve Middle has a predominantly Hispanic student population (92.48%), with a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (95.36%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. The school's performance on the STAAR exams is well below state averages, with proficiency rates ranging from 0% in 8th grade math to 35.54% in 8th grade reading, compared to state averages of 40.23% and 54.09%, respectively. The school's statewide ranking among Texas middle schools has remained consistently low, indicating a lack of significant improvement in academic outcomes over the past three school years.

The data suggests that Austin Achieve Middle faces persistent academic challenges, likely exacerbated by the socioeconomic factors of its student population. The school's underperformance compared to district and state averages raises concerns about the effectiveness of its instructional practices, resource allocation, and support systems in addressing the needs of its students. Significant interventions and targeted support may be necessary to improve the educational outcomes for the students at this school.
