Summary:
Hale Center Independent School District (ISD) in Texas has only one middle school, Carr Middle, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas middle schools, with below-average performance on state assessments across various subjects and grade levels.
Carr Middle has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (57.47%), indicating a predominantly low-income student population. The school has a relatively small enrollment of 174 students, which may limit the range of educational programs and extracurricular activities available. However, the school has a low student-teacher ratio of 12:1 and per-student spending above the state average, suggesting adequate funding and staffing resources.
Despite these resources, Carr Middle's performance has remained consistently below the state average, with proficiency rates ranging from 11.43% in 5th grade Science to 66.67% in Algebra I, compared to state averages of 29.57% and 47.01%, respectively. The school's challenges may be related to the high poverty rates and small size, and the Hale Center ISD may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve student outcomes at Carr Middle.
