Marilyn Miller Language Academy

Summary:

Marilyn Miller Language Academy is an elementary school in Fort Worth, Texas, serving 507 students in grades 1-5. The school is part of the Lake Worth Independent School District, which is ranked 933 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Marilyn Miller Language Academy consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Texas, with a statewide ranking between 4,200-4,600 out of approximately 4,600 schools. The school's performance on STAAR tests is significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 18.07% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 48.85% statewide and 23.89% in the Lake Worth ISD. The school's performance is particularly low for specific student subgroups, such as Hispanic, African American, English Language Learners, and students with disabilities.

While Marilyn Miller Language Academy spends a relatively high amount per student, this higher spending does not seem to translate into improved academic outcomes. Nearby schools, such as Effie Morris Early Learning Academy, N.A. Howry STEAM Academy, and Marine Creek Leadership Academy, also serve economically disadvantaged and minority student populations, but they generally perform better than Marilyn Miller Language Academy on academic measures. This suggests that factors beyond just student demographics, such as school leadership, instructional practices, and resource allocation, may be contributing to the persistent low performance at Marilyn Miller Language Academy.

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.
