Capt Walter E Clarke Middle

Summary:

Capt Walter E Clarke Middle is a public middle school in El Paso, Texas, serving 922 students in grades 6-8 and part of the Socorro Independent School District. While the school has a predominantly Hispanic student population (93.49%), it has consistently underperformed compared to district and state averages on standardized tests, ranking between 1083 and 1656 out of 2,361 Texas middle schools over the past several years.

Capt Walter E Clarke Middle's academic performance varies significantly across different student subgroups. African American students and special education students perform relatively well, ranking in the top 35% and top 38% of Texas middle schools, respectively. However, White students, English Language Learners, and At-Risk students perform poorly, ranking in the bottom 25%, 45%, and 18% of Texas middle schools, respectively. The school's high percentage of students (74.95%) qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch suggests it faces significant socioeconomic challenges that may contribute to its overall academic underperformance.

When compared to other middle schools in the same district, such as Col John O Ensor Middle and Special Rafael Hernando Middle, both of which outperform Capt Walter E Clarke Middle on STAAR tests and have higher statewide rankings, the school's challenges become more apparent. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive approach that considers the school's unique demographic and socioeconomic factors, as well as the implementation of effective strategies to support student learning and achievement.

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.
