BLAKEMORE MIDDLE SCHOOL

BLAKEMORE MIDDLE is a Title I public middle school that is part of the BOYS RANCH ISD school district, located in BOYS RANCH, TX with about 65 students offering grade levels from 6th Grade to 8th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 11 teachers, BLAKEMORE MIDDLE has a student/teacher ratio of about 5:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

BLAKEMORE MIDDLE School is a specialized educational institution located within the Cal Farley’s Boys Ranch community in Boys Ranch, Texas. Operated under the Boys Ranch Independent School District, the school serves a unique student population—specifically, children who have been placed at Boys Ranch due to challenging life circumstances. The campus is designed to provide a structured, supportive, and therapeutic environment that integrates rigorous academics with character development, helping students overcome past obstacles and build a foundation for future success.

The school’s curriculum is tailored to meet the diverse needs of its residents, emphasizing personalized attention and small class sizes to foster academic growth and social-emotional learning. Beyond traditional classroom instruction, BLAKEMORE MIDDLE School works in tandem with the broader Boys Ranch mission, which focuses on providing a stable home life, vocational training, and extracurricular activities. By combining professional education with a community-based support system, the school aims to equip its students with the skills, confidence, and resilience necessary to transition effectively into high school and beyond.
