Summary

McLean Middle is a public middle school in Fort Worth, Texas, serving 800 students in grades 6-8 and part of the Fort Worth Independent School District.

McLean Middle consistently outperforms the district and state averages in academic achievement, with strong STAAR test scores and end-of-course exam results, particularly for its White and Multi-racial student populations. The school also maintains lower dropout rates compared to the district and state. However, it faces challenges in supporting its African American and Hispanic student subgroups, who perform significantly lower than their peers.

While McLean Middle outperforms nearby Wedgwood Middle, Stripling Middle, and Rosemont Middle, the nearby IDEA Edgecliff College Preparatory, a public charter school, outperforms McLean Middle in several areas. The school's high per-student spending and relatively high student-teacher ratio suggest a need to evaluate resource allocation to better support all student subgroups.
