McMichael Middle

Summary:

McMichael Middle is a public middle school in Nacogdoches, Texas, serving 1,390 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Nacogdoches Independent School District, which is ranked 882 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

McMichael Middle has a diverse student population, with a higher percentage of Hispanic (46.83%) and African American (29.64%) students compared to the state average. However, the school consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas middle schools, with a ranking between 1636 and 1960 out of 2,252 to 2,361 schools over the past several years. The school's performance is significantly below the state average across all STAAR test subjects and grade levels, and it struggles to effectively serve its subgroups, with African American, Hispanic, and economically disadvantaged students performing in the bottom quartile. Additionally, McMichael Middle has relatively high dropout rates, ranging from 0.2% to 0.8% over the past several years, which is higher than the state average.

In comparison, the nearby schools, such as Garrison Middle, Dr. Terry Robbins Middle, and Central Heights Middle, generally outperform McMichael Middle across academic measures, with higher STAAR proficiency rates and better statewide rankings. This suggests that the challenges faced by McMichael Middle may be unique to the school or the district, and the significant achievement gaps between the performance of different student subgroups are concerning and indicate a need for targeted interventions and support.

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.
