Canutillo Middle

Summary:

Canutillo Middle is a public middle school located in Canutillo, Texas, serving around 700 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Canutillo Independent School District, which is ranked 330 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Canutillo Middle has a significantly higher Hispanic student population (over 93%) compared to the state average and nearby schools. While the school's test scores have been improving in recent years, they still lag behind the state and district averages, particularly in mathematics. For example, in 2023-2024, only 8.89% of 6th graders were proficient or better in STAAR/Mathematics, compared to 37.1% statewide. Canutillo Middle's rankings for specific student subgroups, such as English Language Learners, Special Education, and Gifted and Talented students, are generally in the bottom half of Texas middle schools, indicating room for improvement in serving these populations. However, the school has maintained relatively low dropout rates, ranging from 0.0% to 0.6% over the past several years, and has increased its spending per student from $9,991 in 2019-2020 to $11,846 in 2020-2021.

Compared to other middle schools in the Canutillo Independent School District, such as Jose J Alderete Middle, Canutillo Middle's performance is generally on par or slightly below. However, when compared to the higher-performing middle schools in the El Paso Independent School District (e.g., Hornedo Middle), Canutillo Middle lags significantly in areas like test scores and overall school rankings. This may be due to the school's high percentage of students (over 60%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income student population. Despite these challenges, Canutillo Middle's migrant student population has performed relatively well, ranking in the top quartile of Texas middle schools for this subgroup in recent years.

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.
