Mathis Middle faces some challenges compared to nearby schools. The school has a significantly higher Hispanic student population, ranging from 82.45% to 91.07% over the past 3 years, compared to the more diverse racial mix at schools like Calallen Middle, Banquete J.H., and Orange Grove J.H. Mathis Middle's test scores are generally lower than the state and nearby district averages across various subjects and grade levels. However, the school performs relatively well in serving its special education and low-income student populations, ranking in the top half of Texas middle schools for these subgroups.

While Mathis Middle spends more per student ($10,431 in 2020-2021) compared to the nearby schools, its overall academic performance has been inconsistent, with a low of 0 stars in 2015-2016 and 2014-2015, and a high of 3 stars in 2022-2023. Addressing the school's racial diversity and academic achievement gaps could be areas of focus for improvement, as Mathis Middle's performance is generally lower than the nearby schools in terms of test scores and overall rankings.

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.
