Riverside Middle

Summary:

Riverside Middle is a public middle school in Fort Worth, Texas, serving 802 students in grades 6-8, with a predominantly Hispanic student population of 88.65%. Unfortunately, the school consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Texas middle schools and significantly underperforms the state and district averages on STAAR assessments, particularly in mathematics.

Riverside Middle's academic struggles are compounded by its high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (92.52%) and relatively high dropout rates in recent years. Compared to nearby middle schools in the Fort Worth Independent School District, such as James Middle, Kirkpatrick Middle, and Meacham Middle, Riverside Middle's performance is consistently lower, suggesting systemic issues that need to be addressed.

The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students and the school's predominantly Hispanic student population may contribute to the low academic performance, as these factors are often associated with challenges in educational outcomes. Collaboration with nearby higher-performing schools, as well as the district and state, could provide valuable insights and strategies to improve student learning and achievement at Riverside Middle.

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.
