Forest Oak Middle

Summary:

Forest Oak Middle is a public charter middle school located in Fort Worth, Texas, serving grades 6-8 with a student population of 779. 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.

Forest Oak Middle faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its predominantly Hispanic and economically disadvantaged student population. The school has consistently underperformed the district and state averages on STAAR/EOC assessments, with only 54.29% of 8th graders proficient in math compared to 40.23% statewide. Additionally, the school has relatively high dropout rates and an extremely high percentage of students (over 95%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch. While the student-teacher ratio is lower than surrounding schools, the school's performance suggests that additional resources may be needed to address the unique challenges faced by its student population.

Compared to nearby schools, Uplift Ascend Middle, a public charter school, outperforms Forest Oak Middle across most academic metrics. The surrounding Fort Worth ISD schools also generally underperform the state averages, but Forest Oak Middle stands out as one of the lowest-performing schools in the district. The school's consistently low performance, high dropout rates, and disparities in subgroup outcomes suggest that a more targeted and comprehensive approach to school improvement may be necessary to help the school better serve 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.
