Marble Falls Middle

Summary:

Marble Falls Middle is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in the Marble Falls Independent School District (ISD) in Marble Falls, Texas, with an enrollment of 911 students. The school's racial makeup is predominantly White (46.76%) and Hispanic (48.3%), and it has consistently been rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, ranking in the middle range among Texas middle schools.

Marble Falls Middle faces several challenges, including below-average test scores compared to state averages, with proficiency rates in reading, math, science, and social studies all lower than the Texas state averages. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with relatively strong performance for multi-racial and gifted and talented students, but struggles with Hispanic, English Language Learner, and low socioeconomic status students. While the school maintains a low dropout rate, it spends around $10,000 per student, which is higher than the nearby Lago Vista Middle ($9,215) and Burnet Middle ($9,956) schools, and has a slightly higher student-teacher ratio of 14.5 compared to 13.8 and 14.2 at the nearby schools, respectively.

The significant performance gaps between different student subgroups at Marble Falls Middle, particularly for Hispanic, English Language Learner, and low socioeconomic status students, suggest potential equity issues that the school and Marble Falls ISD may need to address. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from a high of 732 out of 1,987 Texas middle schools in 2013-2014 to a low of 1,373 out of 2,330 in 2022-2023, indicating that it is not keeping pace with improvements in other Texas middle 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.
