Middle Schools in San Perlita Independent School District (Isd)


Summary:

The San Perlita Independent School District (Isd) in Texas has only one middle school, San Perlita Middle, which serves a predominantly Hispanic student population. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending, its academic performance on state assessments is consistently below the state average, with declining statewide rankings over the past few years.

San Perlita Middle's student body is 97.67% Hispanic, and 65.12% of students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a socioeconomically disadvantaged population. The school's proficiency rates on STAAR tests range from as low as 5% in 8th grade Social Studies to 60% in 7th grade Reading, compared to state averages of 30.55% and 52.08%, respectively. This underperformance across multiple subjects and grade levels suggests the need for targeted interventions and instructional improvements to address the unique challenges faced by this community.

Despite the higher per-student spending and favorable student-teacher ratio, the school's academic outcomes do not seem to be commensurate with the available resources. This raises questions about the effective utilization of funds and the potential need for a deeper understanding of the factors contributing to the school's underperformance, such as the demographic concentration and socioeconomic challenges faced by the student population. Addressing these issues will be crucial in ensuring that students at San Perlita Middle have access to a quality education and the resources they need to succeed.
