Lowell Middle

Public Grades

Summary

Lowell Middle is a public middle school in San Antonio, Texas, serving 289 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the San Antonio Independent School District (SAISD), which is ranked 811 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Lowell Middle has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Texas middle schools over the past decade, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lowell Middle faces significant challenges, including an extremely high Hispanic student population (97% or more), significantly below-average academic performance across all grade levels and subject areas (e.g., only 12% of 8th-graders were proficient in STAAR Reading, compared to 54% statewide), and poor performance for subgroups like Hispanic students and English Language Learners. The school also has relatively high dropout rates and a very high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds (95-97% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch). Interestingly, despite having relatively high spending per student and a low student-teacher ratio, Lowell Middle's performance has remained consistently low over the past decade, with no significant improvement.

When compared to nearby schools, Lowell Middle's academic performance is significantly lower, even within the same district. For example, Harris Middle, another SAISD school, outperforms Lowell Middle across most subject areas and grade levels. This suggests that the challenges faced by Lowell Middle may require more targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.
