Summary:

Palo Alto Middle consistently underperforms compared to the district and state averages on STAAR tests, with only 27.66% to 38.25% of students scoring proficient or better in reading, compared to 41.31% to 45.16% for Killeen ISD and 52.08% to 54.45% for Texas.

When compared to other middle schools in the Killeen ISD, such as Union Grove Middle and Audie Murphy Middle, Palo Alto Middle consistently underperforms on STAAR tests and has a lower overall SchoolDigger ranking. The school's performance has remained stagnant or even declined over the past several years, and its underperformance disproportionately affects certain student subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students. Despite the school's poor academic performance, Palo Alto Middle spends a relatively high amount per student, raising questions about the effectiveness of the school's resource allocation.

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.
