R Yzaguirre Middle

Summary:

R Yzaguirre Middle is a public middle school in San Juan, Texas, serving 775 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Pharr-San Juan-Alamo Independent School District, which is ranked 460 out of 968 districts in the state.

R Yzaguirre Middle faces significant academic challenges, with consistently low performance on STAAR tests across all subjects and grade levels. The school's 6th-grade reading proficiency rate was just 33.46% in 2023-2024, compared to the district's 47.53% and the state's 54.45%. Certain student subgroups, such as English Language Learners and Special Education students, perform particularly poorly. When compared to other middle schools in the district, like Jaime Escalante Middle and Lyndon B Johnson Middle, R Yzaguirre Middle generally has lower test scores and rankings. The school's performance is also lower than middle schools in the neighboring Edinburg Consolidated Independent School District and McAllen Independent School District.

Despite these challenges, R Yzaguirre Middle has maintained a low dropout rate of 0.0% in recent years. Additionally, the school's Algebra I end-of-course exam performance is a bright spot, with a 100% proficiency rate that significantly outperforms the district and state averages. However, the school's higher per-student spending of $12,450 in 2020-2021 does not seem to translate into better academic outcomes. Overall, R Yzaguirre Middle has room for improvement in order to better serve its predominantly Hispanic, economically disadvantaged student population.

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.
