Middle Schools in Bastrop Independent School District (Isd)

The Bastrop Independent School District (ISD) in Texas is home to 4 middle schools serving grades 6-8: Cedar Creek Middle, Cedar Creek Intermediate, Bastrop Middle, and Bastrop Intermediate. While the district's middle schools generally perform below the state averages in STAAR proficiency, Bastrop Middle stands out as a relatively higher-performing school, ranking 1709 out of 2361 Texas middle schools and having the highest proficiency rates in STAAR/Reading, STAAR/Mathematics, STAAR/Science, STAAR/Social Studies, and STAAR EOC/Algebra I compared to the other middle schools and the district average.

Bastrop Intermediate also shows promise, with the highest proficiency rates in STAAR/Reading and STAAR/Mathematics for 6th grade compared to the other schools and the district average. However, the middle schools in the Bastrop ISD generally have high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 68.5% to 90.48%, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among their student populations.

The analysis suggests that the district may need to focus on addressing equity and providing targeted support to improve student outcomes across all its middle schools, particularly in areas where performance lags behind the state averages. Identifying and replicating the effective practices used at Bastrop Middle could also be a valuable strategy to help close the achievement gaps and ensure all students in the Bastrop ISD have access to a high-quality education.
