Marine Creek Middle

Q: Is Marine Creek Middle a good school?

Marine Creek Middle ranks 1582 nd of 2361 Texas middle schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Marine Creek Middle is a public middle school in Fort Worth, Texas, serving 983 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Eagle Mt-Saginaw Independent School District, which is ranked 563 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Marine Creek Middle has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with a higher percentage of Hispanic (47.3%) and African American (19.53%) students. However, the school's test scores are generally lower than the district and state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in STAAR Reading and Mathematics are significantly below the district and state averages. Additionally, the school's performance on various student subgroups, such as Asian, African American, and Hispanic students, is consistently lower than the state averages for those subgroups. Despite these academic challenges, Marine Creek Middle has maintained a low dropout rate of 0.1% over the past three years, which is on par with the nearby schools.

When compared to other middle schools in the same district, such as Creekview Middle and Wayside Middle, Marine Creek Middle generally performs worse on academic measures, including test scores and subgroup performance. The high percentage of students (62.05% in 2022-2023) receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Marine Creek Middle suggests that the school serves a population with a lower socioeconomic status, which may contribute to the lower academic performance. Addressing these issues through targeted interventions and collaboration with other districts could be crucial in improving the school's overall performance and providing a better educational experience for its students.

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.
