Rio Vista Middle

Summary:

Rio Vista Middle is a public middle school in Rio Vista, Texas, serving 212 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Joshua Independent School District, which is ranked 405 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

While Rio Vista Middle maintains a 0% dropout rate, the school faces several challenges. Its academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is generally below the state average across all grade levels and subjects, with proficiency rates in reading and math ranging from 44-61% and 22-32%, respectively, compared to state averages of 52-54% and 31-40%. The school also ranks in the bottom half of Texas middle schools for female students, Hispanic students, and students with special needs. When compared to nearby schools like R.C. Loflin Middle and Tom and Nita Nichols Middle, both part of the Joshua Independent School District, Rio Vista Middle generally underperforms.

Another notable characteristic of Rio Vista Middle is its racial makeup, which is significantly skewed towards White students (75.47%) compared to the state average, with lower percentages of Hispanic (16.98%) and minority students. This lack of diversity may impact the school's cultural and educational environment. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students (56-62%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which could contribute to its academic challenges. However, the school's low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.1 to 13.8, could be an advantage in providing more individualized attention to 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.
