Memphis Middle

Summary:

Memphis Middle is a public middle school in Memphis, Texas, serving 89 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Memphis Independent School District, which is ranked 409 out of 968 school districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Memphis Middle has shown a mixed academic performance, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 540 (2022-2023) and 1662 (2018-2019) out of around 2,300 Texas middle schools. However, the school has seen an improvement in its performance, with a 4-star rating in 2022-2023, up from a 1-star rating in previous years. The school's performance on specific student subgroups, such as Hispanic, English Language Learners, and Low Socioeconomic Status students, is a strength, with these groups often outperforming their peers at the state level.

Other notable factors about Memphis Middle include its relatively low dropout rates, ranging from 0% to 1.4% over the past few years, and its increased spending per student, from $11,263 in 2018-2019 to $13,551 in 2020-2021. The school's performance on STAAR tests often exceeds the district and state averages, particularly in reading and science, and its low student-teacher ratio suggests the ability to provide more individualized attention and support to its students.

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.
