Iltexas Keller Middle

Summary:

Iltexas Keller Middle is a diverse public charter middle school serving grades 6-8 in Fort Worth, Texas, part of the Northwest Independent School District (ISD). While the school consistently outperforms the district and state in academic metrics, it faces challenges compared to nearby traditional public schools like Timberview Middle and Trinity Springs Middle, which tend to have higher test scores and statewide rankings.

Iltexas Keller Middle stands out for its racial diversity, with a student population that is 22.15% White, 22.82% African American, 36.02% Hispanic, and 14.99% Asian. The school also performs exceptionally well for certain subgroups, such as African American students, English Language Learners, and Gifted and Talented students, often ranking in the top quartile of Texas middle schools for these groups. However, the school has a relatively high percentage of students (38.03%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which may contribute to the performance gap compared to nearby schools.

Despite these challenges, Iltexas Keller Middle consistently outperforms the Northwest ISD and the state of Texas in STAAR test scores across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, 56.46% of 6th graders at Iltexas Keller Middle were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 40.51% for the district and 54.45% for Texas. The school has also maintained very low dropout rates, ranging from 0.0% to 0.7% over the past several years, significantly better than the state average.

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.

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.
