Travis Middle

Summary:

Travis Middle is a public middle school located in Amarillo, Texas, serving grades 6-8 with a student population of 629. The school is part of the Amarillo Independent School District, which is ranked 442 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Travis Middle has a diverse student body, with 57.23% Hispanic, 17.01% African American, and 14.63% Asian students, the school's academic performance has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas middle schools. On STAAR tests, the school's proficiency rates in reading and math are below the district and state averages, particularly for Asian students, who perform significantly lower than their peers statewide. However, the school's Hispanic and English Language Learner students, as well as its special education and economically disadvantaged students, perform relatively better, ranking in the middle 50% of Texas middle schools.

Compared to nearby schools within the Amarillo ISD, such as Fannin Middle, Lorenzo De Zavala Middle, and Austin Middle, Travis Middle's academic performance is generally lower. For example, in 2023-2024, Lorenzo De Zavala Middle had significantly higher proficiency rates in STAAR Reading and Mathematics compared to Travis Middle. Despite having higher per-student spending and a lower student-teacher ratio, Travis Middle's diverse student population and high percentage of economically disadvantaged students may contribute to the challenges it faces in improving academic outcomes.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
