Floresville Middle, Floresville TX

Original Research by School Decision on Floresville Middle

Floresville Middle serves grades six through eight in a community where about three-fifths of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. The school's enrollment is drawn predominantly from Hispanic families, with a White minority and very small populations of other backgrounds. The peer group is economically working-class; housing in the zip code is modestly priced and rents are low relative to national standards.

The academic picture shows uneven performance across grade and subject. In English/language arts, the school's trajectory is stronger: sixth-graders reach about the halfway mark, seventh-graders move ahead of that, and eighth-graders stand solidly above it. The eighth-grade ELA results represent the school's clearest strength. Math tells a more complicated story. Sixth-grade math proficiency is quite low, seventh-grade drops sharply, and only in eighth grade does the school reach about the midpoint. Science results in eighth grade sit roughly at the midpoint. Eighth-grade social studies proficiency is below where it stands in most other tested areas. Overall, when combined across all tested subjects and grades, the school's proficiency index places it below the midpoint among districts in Wilson County.

The pattern suggests that students struggle most in the earlier grades and gain ground as they move through the school, with particular strength by eighth grade in reading and writing but persistent softness in math and social studies across the grades. A parent may want to ask the school directly about the specifics of sixth and seventh-grade math instruction and what supports exist for students entering middle school below grade level.

The school is a regular public school within Floresville Independent School District. No data were available on chronic absenteeism, special education enrollment, English learner enrollment, or attendance rates. District-level changes or strategic initiatives were not documented in the search.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
