Summary

Uplift Williams Prep Middle in Dallas, TX, is a public charter school serving 532 students in grades 6-8, part of the Uplift Education district, and located in an area where about 89-90% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

This school presents a fascinating paradox. On one hand, its Algebra I program is a standout success, with 74% of students proficient in 2025-2026—far exceeding the state average of 54% and even rivaling top magnet schools like Dallas Environmental Science Academy (78%). This suggests a highly effective, targeted program for advanced 8th-grade math students. On the other hand, the school has experienced a dramatic decline from its peak in 2018, when it ranked in the 88th percentile (4-star), to its current 13th percentile (1-star). This drop is unique in the area; nearby schools like Henry W. Longfellow Career Exploration Academy have remained consistently high-performing. The school’s general math and reading scores are well below state averages, and 8th-grade Social Studies is a critical weak point, with only 7.65% proficient—the lowest among nearby schools.

Historically, Uplift Williams was a top performer for at-risk students, ranking in the 97th percentile in 2019. That support has since collapsed, but the school still outperforms its charter peer, Uplift Heights Prep Middle, in key areas like 6th-grade math (28.5% vs. 6.8%) and has a lower dropout rate (1.3% vs. 2.5%). For parents, this school offers a world-class Algebra I program but struggles in most other subjects, making it a "two-speed" school where resources may be concentrated on advanced students. The challenge for the administration is to rediscover the strategies that once made it a standout for all students.
