Devine Middle

Summary:

Devine Middle is a public middle school in Devine, Texas, serving 435 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Devine Independent School District, which is ranked 696 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Devine Middle faces several challenges, including a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (67.36%) compared to the state average, and lower academic performance on STAAR tests across most subjects and grade levels. The school's proficiency rates in reading and math were 46-51% and 29-49%, respectively, compared to the state averages of 52-54% and 31-40%. Devine Middle's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with the school performing relatively well for White students but struggling with Hispanic, English Language Learner, and At-Risk student populations. Despite these challenges, the school has maintained a very low dropout rate of 0.0%.

When compared to nearby middle schools, such as Medina Valley Middle and Somerset J H, Devine Middle generally performs at a lower level, with lower test scores and lower statewide rankings. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (57.24%) and the school's lower spending per student ($8,606 in 2020-2021) may be contributing factors to Devine Middle's relatively weaker academic performance compared to the state and nearby schools.

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.
