Carter-Riverside High School

Summary:

Carter-Riverside High School is a public high school serving 1,048 students in grades 9-12 in a predominantly Hispanic (87.21%) and low-income (91.7% qualify for free/reduced lunch) area of Fort Worth, Texas. The school consistently ranks in the bottom 20% of Texas high schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, and struggles academically across key metrics.

Carter-Riverside High School's performance on STAAR End-of-Course (EOC) exams is significantly below the district and state averages, with proficiency rates ranging from just 3.27% in Algebra I to 48.37% in U.S. History. The school's four-year graduation rate has declined from 86.5% in 2018-2019 to 80.8% in 2022-2023, lower than the district and state averages, while its dropout rate has increased from 2.9% to 8.7% over the same period. Student subgroup performance is particularly low, with Asian, African American, and White students ranking in the bottom 20-30% of their respective subgroups in Texas.

The academic challenges at Carter-Riverside High School are not unique within the Fort Worth Independent School District, as several nearby schools such as Polytechnic High School, Trimble Technical High School, and Diamond Hill-Jarvis High School also struggle academically. However, the presence of higher-performing schools in the area, such as the Texas Academy of Biomedical and the IM Terrell Academy for STEM and VPA, suggests that with the right resources and interventions, Carter-Riverside High School could potentially improve its academic outcomes.

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.
