Monnig Middle

Summary:

Monnig Middle is a public middle school in Fort Worth, Texas, serving 554 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. Monnig Middle has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Texas middle schools, with a 0-star rating for most recent years.

Monnig Middle stands out for its significantly higher percentage of minority students compared to the state average, with 37.55% African American and 39.53% Hispanic students. The school's academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is well below state and district averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, only 19.01% of 8th-grade students were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to the state average of 54.09%. Monnig Middle also experiences relatively high dropout rates, ranging from 0.6% to 2.8% in recent years. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 83.94% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

In comparison, nearby schools such as Wedgwood 6th Gr School, McLean 6th Grade, and McLean Middle generally perform better academically, with higher STAAR test scores and better overall rankings. These schools also have lower percentages of minority and low-income students, which may contribute to their stronger academic performance. The data suggests that Monnig Middle faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its unique student population, and addressing these challenges will likely require a comprehensive approach involving targeted interventions and additional resources.

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.
