Sun Ridge Middle

Summary:

Sun Ridge Middle is a public middle school located in El Paso, Texas, serving 1,045 students in grades 6-8 and part of the Socorro Independent School District.

Sun Ridge Middle stands out for its high percentage of Hispanic students (87%) and strong academic performance, particularly in 6th grade Reading and Mathematics, where the school outpaces the district and state averages. The school's African American and Hispanic student groups perform well, ranking in the top 25% of Texas middle schools. However, the school's performance for Gifted and Talented students has declined over the years, ranking in the bottom 50% of Texas middle schools. Compared to nearby schools like Eastwood Middle and Capt Walter E Clarke Middle, Sun Ridge Middle generally performs on par or better in terms of academic achievement and student group performance.

Overall, Sun Ridge Middle appears to be a solid middle school that is effectively serving its diverse student population, with a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's low dropout rate and strong performance for African American and Hispanic students are particularly noteworthy. However, the decline in Gifted and Talented student performance is an area that the school and district should investigate and address.

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.
