Summary:
The Fort Stockton Middle is the sole middle school serving the Fort Stockton Independent School District (Isd) in Texas. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas middle schools, with an overall performance rating of just 1 out of 5 stars, indicating it is performing below average compared to its peers statewide.
Academically, Fort Stockton Middle struggles, with proficiency rates on the STAAR exams that are generally lower than the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's 6th-grade reading proficiency rate was 38.85%, compared to the state average of 54.21%, and the 8th-grade math proficiency rate was 30.91%, compared to the state average of 44.81%. The school also has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 72.34% in the 2023-2024 school year, which can present additional academic and social-emotional challenges.
However, the school does have some potential strengths, including a relatively low dropout rate of 0.5% and a student-teacher ratio of 13.9 to 1, which is slightly lower than the state average. These factors may indicate a focus on student engagement and personalized attention, though they do not seem to be translating into strong academic outcomes. Overall, the data suggests that Fort Stockton Middle is a struggling school that needs to address significant gaps in academic proficiency, particularly in mathematics and social studies, in order to improve student performance and outcomes.
