Lucy Rede Franco Middle

Summary:

Lucy Rede Franco Middle School is a public middle school in Presidio, Texas, serving 219 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Presidio Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 806 out of 968 school districts in the state and has a 1-star rating.

While the school has a highly diverse student population, with a significant majority of Hispanic students (98.17%), its academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is generally below the state average across various subjects and grade levels. However, the school has shown some strengths, such as a 100% proficiency rate in STAAR EOC Algebra I. The school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Special Education students performing better than the state average, while Gifted and Talented students and At-Risk students struggle. Despite the school's relatively high spending per student, ranging from $11,421 to $12,488 over the past few years, its academic outcomes have consistently lagged behind the state average.

The school's high percentage of students (over 90%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch indicates a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population, which may present significant challenges in addressing their educational and social-emotional needs. However, the school's low dropout rates, ranging from 0% to 2.3% over the past few years, suggest that it has the potential to improve its overall academic outcomes with the right strategies and interventions.

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.
