J Martin Jacquet Middle

Summary:

J Martin Jacquet Middle is a public middle school in Fort Worth, Texas, serving 569 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.

J Martin Jacquet Middle has a significantly higher percentage of African American (50.79%) and Hispanic (42.88%) students compared to nearby schools, which tend to be more diverse. The school consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of Texas middle schools based on academic performance, with proficiency rates on STAAR tests that are significantly lower than state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. Additionally, the school has relatively high dropout rates, ranging from 2.0% to 2.8% over the past 5 years, which are higher than the state and district averages. With over 97% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, J Martin Jacquet Middle serves a highly economically disadvantaged student population.

The challenges facing J Martin Jacquet Middle are not unique, as nearby schools such as Morningside Middle, James Middle, and Jean McClung Middle also serve predominantly minority and economically disadvantaged student populations and exhibit similar academic performance issues. Additionally, J Martin Jacquet Middle's Gifted and Talented program is among the lowest-performing in the state, ranking in the bottom 5% of Texas middle schools, suggesting a lack of access and opportunities for high-achieving students. Despite the school's challenges, it spends a relatively high amount per student, ranging from $9,807 to $11,266 per student over the past 3 years, indicating that the issue may not be solely a lack of resources, but rather how those resources are being utilized and targeted to address the specific needs of the student population.

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.
