Comfort Middle

Summary:

Comfort Middle is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in the Comfort Independent School District (ISD) in Comfort, Texas. The school has a student population of 243 and a racial makeup that is predominantly White (39.51%) and Hispanic (58.85%).

Comfort Middle has consistently been rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger over the past several years, ranking in the middle range among Texas middle schools. The school's academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is generally below the state averages across various subjects and grade levels. Additionally, Comfort Middle has a relatively high percentage of students (53.5%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families compared to the nearby Boerne Middle South and Boerne Middle North schools, which are part of the Boerne ISD.

Interestingly, Comfort Middle spends more per student ($11,262 in 2020-2021) compared to the nearby Boerne Middle South and North schools, which spend around $9,000 per student. However, this higher spending does not seem to be translating into improved academic outcomes, as the school's performance on the SchoolDigger ranking has declined over the years, dropping from a 3-star rating in 2018-2019 to a 2-star rating in recent years. This suggests that Comfort Middle may be facing challenges in providing a high-quality educational experience for its diverse student population.

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.
