World Languages Institute

Summary:

World Languages Institute is a public high school in Fort Worth, Texas, serving grades 6-12 with a student population of 549. The school is part of the Fort Worth Independent School District, which has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

World Languages Institute consistently outperforms the district and state in academic performance, with significantly higher proficiency rates on STAAR tests in subjects like Algebra I, Biology, and English II Reading. The school also boasts a high four-year graduation rate of 97.9% and very low dropout rates, which are lower than the district and state averages. As a result, World Languages Institute has earned a strong 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranks in the top 25% of Texas high schools.

Notably, the school's success extends to specific student subgroups, such as White, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students, who all perform exceptionally well compared to their peers statewide. This is particularly impressive given that over 80% of World Languages Institute's students come from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. When compared to nearby high schools like Im Terrell Academy For Stem And Vpa, Paschal High School, and Texas Academy Of Biomedical, World Languages Institute generally outperforms these schools in academic measures, graduation rates, and statewide rankings.

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.

Open Quote The school is called World Languages Institute, yet there is no inclusion for everyone who goes there. One race is dominate than others but that doesn't mean we celebrate just that one race, there are others who want to celebrate and show of their heritage. I love learning different cultures, so shouldn't others get the chance to do the same? The racial slurs and jokes that are made by students at this school is shocking. Many know what they say is upsetting but don't care. The environment is toxic, suffocating and mentally draining. I speak on my behalf as a black student. I hope there will be changes made for the future students. Close Quote

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.
