Gorman Middle

Summary:

Gorman Middle is a public middle school in Gorman, Texas, serving 66 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Gorman Independent School District, which is ranked 642 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Gorman Middle faces several challenges, including lower test scores and declining performance compared to nearby schools like Ranger Middle and Eastland Middle. The school has a higher percentage of Hispanic students and a significantly higher rate of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. Despite its relatively low student-teacher ratio and high spending per student, Gorman Middle's performance, as measured by its statewide ranking and SchoolDigger rating, has declined over the years.

Gorman Middle's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as White students, Special Education students, and Low Socioeconomic Status students, who rank in the bottom 10-20% of Texas middle schools. The school's dropout rate, however, has remained at 0% over the past several years, which is a positive indicator. The challenges faced by Gorman Middle suggest the need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes and close the performance gap with nearby schools and the state averages.

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.
