Summary:

Dimmitt Middle School is a public middle school in Dimmitt, Texas, serving around 270 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Dimmitt Independent School District, which is ranked 779 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Dimmitt Middle School consistently performs below the state average on STAAR tests across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in reading ranged from 34.48% to 51.9%, compared to the state average of 52.08% to 54.45%. In mathematics, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 4.62% to 54.44%, compared to the state average of 31.89% to 40.23%. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas middle schools, with a ranking between 1620 and 1958 out of over 2,300 schools in recent years, and has received a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade.

Dimmitt Middle School has experienced relatively high dropout rates in recent years, ranging from 1.0% to 4.8%, which are higher than the state average. The school's spending per student has decreased from $15,214 in 2018-2019 to $14,044 in 2020-2021, which is still higher than the state average. These factors suggest systemic challenges in providing a high-quality education to the school's predominantly Hispanic student population, and the need for targeted interventions to address the unique needs of the school's underperforming subgroups.

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.
