Summary:
The Decatur Independent School District (Isd) in Texas has only one middle school, McCarroll Middle, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school has consistently ranked in the middle range of Texas middle schools, with a SchoolDigger rating of 3 out of 5 stars in recent years.
McCarroll Middle has shown mixed academic performance, with strengths in 8th-grade Reading, 8th-grade Science, and Algebra I end-of-course (EOC) scores, which are significantly higher than the district and state averages. However, the school struggles in 6th and 7th-grade Math, where proficiency rates are well below the state average. The school's overall ranking and SchoolDigger rating suggest that there is room for improvement in the school's academic performance across multiple subject areas.
Despite the school's relatively high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, indicating a population with lower socioeconomic status, McCarroll Middle's per-student spending is higher than the state average, and the student-teacher ratio is lower. This suggests that the school is allocating resources to support its students. Identifying and addressing the root causes of the school's weaker areas, particularly in Math, could be a focus for improvement efforts.
