Shamrock Middle

Summary:

Shamrock Middle School is a small public middle school in Shamrock, Texas, serving grades 6-8 with a student population of just 73 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school's academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is generally below the state average across various subjects and grade levels, with proficiency rates ranging from 30% to 61% in reading and 26% to 35% in math, compared to state averages of 52% to 54% and 32% to 40%, respectively.

Shamrock Middle's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with female students outperforming male students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds or with special needs performing below average. However, the school's "At-Risk" students have a surprisingly high ranking, placing in the top 5% of Texas middle schools. The school's per-student spending is relatively high, ranging from $13,440 to $15,584 per student, which is above the state average, and it maintains a 0% dropout rate.

The inconsistent academic performance and significant disparities between student subgroups suggest that Shamrock Middle School may need to implement targeted interventions and support programs to address these challenges. Additionally, the school's small size and high per-student spending may be factors that warrant further investigation to optimize resource allocation and improve overall educational outcomes for all 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.
