Summary:
Gorman Independent School District (ISD) in Texas has only one middle school, Gorman Middle, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's academic performance is consistently below the state average, with a low 2-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger. Gorman Middle's student population is predominantly White (59.09%) and Hispanic (36.36%), with no representation of African American or Asian students.
Despite spending more per student ($16,142) than the state average, Gorman Middle's STAAR test scores lag behind in multiple subjects and grade levels. The school serves a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 68.18% of the population eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This socioeconomic factor may contribute to the school's academic challenges and the need for additional resources and support.
While Gorman Middle has a relatively low student-to-teacher ratio of 9.7, suggesting a potentially favorable learning environment, the school's overall performance and lack of diversity raise concerns about the quality of education and the ability to provide an inclusive learning experience for all students. The district and school leadership may need to implement targeted interventions and resource allocation strategies to address the identified areas of concern and improve student outcomes.
