Roy Johnson Stem Academy

Q: Is Roy Johnson Stem Academy a good school?

Roy Johnson Stem Academy ranks 1377 th of 2361 Texas middle schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Roy Johnson STEM Academy is a public middle school in Fort Worth, Texas, serving 406 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Everman Independent School District, which is ranked 839 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Roy Johnson STEM Academy consistently outperforms its district in STAAR test scores, particularly in 6th grade reading and 8th grade math. The school's Algebra I proficiency rate is also significantly higher than the district and state averages. However, the school's overall performance is still below the state averages, indicating room for improvement. The school's Hispanic and multi-racial student subgroups perform relatively well compared to their peers in Texas, but the African American and special education subgroups struggle. The school's gifted and talented students also perform poorly compared to other Texas middle schools.

While Roy Johnson STEM Academy outperforms the nearby Charles Baxter J.H. in the Everman ISD, it lags behind some of the higher-performing charter schools in the area, such as Idea Southeast College Preparatory and Idea Edgecliff College Preparatory. The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students and its investment in resources suggest a commitment to supporting its diverse student population, but more work may be needed to close the achievement gap and reach the level of performance seen in the top-performing schools in the region.

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.
