Summary:
Lyford Consolidated Independent School District in Texas has only one middle school, Lyford Middle, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school faces significant academic challenges, with consistently low performance on state standardized tests compared to the state averages. Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio, Lyford Middle struggles to provide a high-quality education to its predominantly Hispanic and economically disadvantaged student population.
Lyford Middle's STAAR test scores in reading, math, science, and social studies fall well below the state averages, with proficiency rates ranging from just 4.05% to 40.91% across different grade levels and subject areas. The school's Algebra I end-of-course proficiency rate of 40.91% is also lower than the state average of 44.73%. These academic deficiencies suggest that the school and the Lyford Consolidated Independent School District as a whole may need to implement targeted strategies and interventions to address the educational needs of their students.
Despite the academic challenges, Lyford Middle has a relatively low dropout rate of 0.4%, indicating that there may be opportunities for improvement and intervention to help students succeed. The school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (80.27%) suggests that socioeconomic factors play a significant role in the school's performance, and additional resources and support may be necessary to address these challenges and provide a more equitable education for all students.
