Daggett Middle

Summary:

Daggett Middle is a public middle school in Fort Worth, Texas, serving 353 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Fort Worth Independent School District, which is ranked 783 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Daggett Middle has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Texas middle schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Daggett Middle stands out for several concerning reasons. It has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (76.2%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 56.4% to 73.81% Hispanic. The school also underperforms the district and state averages on STAAR assessments, with only 24.17% of 6th graders proficient or better in reading, compared to 33.55% for Fort Worth ISD and 54.45% for Texas. Daggett Middle's dropout rate has steadily increased, reaching 2.8% in 2021-2022, which is significantly higher than surrounding schools. Additionally, over 90% of Daggett Middle's students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.

When compared to nearby middle schools like Stripling Middle and McLean Middle, Daggett Middle is clearly underperforming. These schools, which are within a 3-mile radius, consistently outperform Daggett Middle on STAAR assessments and have higher overall SchoolDigger rankings. The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged and minority students, coupled with its consistently low test scores and high dropout rates, suggest that significant interventions and additional resources may be needed to improve student outcomes and provide a high-quality education for the community it serves.

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.
