Summary:
Stem Middle is a public middle school located in Victoria, Texas, serving grades 6-7 with a total enrollment of 448 students. The school is part of the Victoria Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 790 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Stem Middle faces significant academic challenges, with its performance on STAAR tests significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 7th grade mathematics, only 7% of Stem Middle students were proficient or better, compared to 12% for the district and 35% for the state. The school's student group rankings on SchoolDigger are particularly low, with the school ranking in the bottom 10-15% of Texas middle schools for most subgroups, including female students, male students, African American students, Hispanic students, white students, English language learners, special education students, and low socioeconomic status students. However, Stem Middle's ranking for gifted and talented students is relatively higher, at 817 out of 1,481 Texas middle schools, with a 2-star rating.
Stem Middle's academic performance is significantly lower than the nearby schools, such as Harold Cade Middle and Howell Middle, which have higher STAAR test scores and better overall rankings on SchoolDigger. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (79.91%) and the school's low ranking for subgroups like English language learners and special education students suggest that socioeconomic and demographic factors may be contributing to the school's academic challenges. However, the decrease in student-teacher ratio from 18.1 to 14.0 over the past year may indicate an effort to provide more individualized attention and support for students.
