Summary:
The Boys Ranch Independent School District (Isd) in Texas has only one middle school, Blakemore Middle, which serves students in grades 6-8. This small school has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from 258th out of 2,361 Texas middle schools in 2023-2024 to 1,237th out of 2,330 in 2022-2023.
Blakemore Middle's performance on STAAR tests varies across different subjects and grade levels. While its 8th-grade students performed well above the state average in STAAR Reading and Science, the school's 6th-grade students struggled in STAAR Mathematics, with only 25% proficient or better compared to the state average of 37.68%. The school has a low dropout rate of 0% and a very favorable student-to-teacher ratio of 3.9 to 1, suggesting a potentially positive learning environment.
Despite the school's small size of only 38 students, its spending per student for the 2020-2021 school year was $42,768, which is significantly higher than the state average. This high level of funding raises questions about how the resources are being utilized and whether they are translating into improved student outcomes. Overall, Blakemore Middle appears to have some strengths, such as its performance in certain STAAR subjects, but also faces challenges in maintaining consistent academic achievement across all grade levels and subject areas.
