Summary

Uplift Meridian Prep Ps is a public charter elementary school in Fort Worth, TX, serving 461 students in grades PK-5 within the Uplift Education district, and it serves a high-poverty community where over 93% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

This school is in the midst of a promising turnaround. After years of struggling, it has climbed to the 33rd percentile statewide and earned 2 stars—its highest ranking ever. A standout strength is its performance in 3rd grade math, where 50.94% of students were proficient, surpassing both the district average (37.13%) and the state average (44.33%). This is a rare bright spot that nearby schools like Uplift Mighty Prep Ps (28.4% proficiency) and T A Sims Elementary did not achieve. The school also has a lower student-to-teacher ratio (15.6:1) than many neighbors, including Rocketship Dennis Dunkins Elementary (21:1), which may help with individualized attention.

However, challenges remain. While 3rd grade math is a success, proficiency drops sharply in 4th and 5th grade math (41.38% and 32%, respectively), and science scores are critically low—only 5.88% of 5th graders were proficient, a common issue in the area. The school also lags behind the standout Christene C Moss Elementary (52nd percentile) in overall performance, though it outperforms its district neighbor Uplift Mighty Prep Ps (11th percentile) in nearly every grade and subject. For parents, this school offers a clear upward trajectory and a strong focus on early math, but it must address upper-grade learning gaps and science instruction to sustain its momentum.
