Ignite Community School-Fort Worth

Summary:

Ignite Community School-Fort Worth is a public charter elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Fort Worth, Texas, with a student population of 203. The school is part of the Fort Worth Independent School District, which is ranked 423 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ignite Community School-Fort Worth faces significant academic challenges, ranking in the bottom 20% of Texas elementary schools for the past two school years. The school's STAAR test scores are consistently lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas, particularly for African American students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. Compared to nearby public schools like Atwood McDonald Elementary, John T White Elementary, and Bill J Elliott Elementary, Ignite Community School-Fort Worth performs significantly worse academically.

Despite these challenges, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10:1 and a 0.0% dropout rate, which is a positive indicator of student retention and engagement. However, the school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (84.73%) and lower spending per student ($10,797) compared to nearby public schools may be contributing factors to the academic struggles. To improve student outcomes, the school and district may need to explore additional resources, targeted interventions, and strategies to better support the unique needs of the student population.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Data source: National Center for Education Statistics, U.S. Dept of Education.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
