Wedgwood Middle

Summary:

Wedgwood Middle is a public middle school in Fort Worth, Texas, serving 662 students in grades 7-8. 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.

Wedgwood Middle faces significant challenges, with a student population that is 34.89% African American, 51.51% Hispanic, and only 8.01% White. The school consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Texas middle schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years. Its STAAR test scores are significantly below the state and district averages across all subjects and grade levels, and it has a higher dropout rate than the state and district averages, ranging from 1.7% to 2.7% over the past few years. Additionally, over 89% of Wedgwood Middle's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

When compared to other middle schools in the same district and nearby Crowley Independent School District, Wedgwood Middle consistently underperforms academically. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in STAAR Reading for 7th grade at Wedgwood Middle was 26.75%, compared to 30.12% for the Fort Worth ISD and 52.08% for the state. The school's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 10% of Texas middle schools for Asian, African American, Hispanic, and Economically Disadvantaged students. Despite the school's higher-than-average spending per student ($9,978 in 2020-2021), its academic outcomes remain poor, suggesting that additional funding alone may not be the solution to improving student performance.

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.
