Driscoll Middle

Summary:

Driscoll Middle is a public middle school in Corpus Christi, Texas, serving 661 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Corpus Christi Independent School District (CCISD), which is ranked 595 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Driscoll Middle consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Texas middle schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years. Its STAAR test scores are significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, only 29.61% of 6th graders were proficient in reading, compared to 54.93% for the CCISD district and 54.45% for the state. The school also has a high percentage of Hispanic students (87.75%) and economically disadvantaged students (94.86%), which likely contributes to its academic challenges.

When comparing Driscoll Middle to other nearby schools within the CCISD district, it consistently underperforms. For example, Haas Middle and Grant Middle have significantly higher STAAR test scores and overall academic performance. Additionally, London Middle, which is in a different district, also outperforms Driscoll Middle, raising concerns about equity and the distribution of educational resources within the Corpus Christi region.

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.
