Marine Creek Leadership Academy

Summary:

Marine Creek Leadership Academy is an elementary school in Fort Worth, Texas, serving 371 students in grades 1-5 and part of the Lake Worth Independent School District, which is ranked 933 out of 968 districts in the state.

Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher-than-average per-student spending, Marine Creek Leadership Academy consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Texas elementary schools, with a statewide ranking between 4,149 and 4,414 out of 4,675 schools over the past several years. The school's performance on STAAR tests is significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas, particularly for African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students, as well as for students with special needs and those from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

While Marine Creek Leadership Academy struggles academically, some nearby schools in the Lake Worth ISD and other districts, such as Dozier Elementary and Greenfield Elementary, perform significantly better on STAAR tests and have higher statewide rankings. This suggests that the challenges faced by Marine Creek Leadership Academy may be specific to the school and not necessarily reflective of the broader district or regional 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.
