Summary

Uplift Elevate Prep Middle in Fort Worth, TX, serves 267 students in grades 6-8 and is part of the Uplift Education district, currently holding a 2-star state ranking in the 37th percentile after a notable decline from a 3-star peak in recent years.

This school presents a mixed picture for parents. On one hand, it has a strong track record of accelerating students into high school-level coursework, with impressive proficiency rates in End-of-Course exams like Biology (85% proficient) and English I & II Reading (70% and 65% proficient), far exceeding district and state averages. This is a standout feature compared to nearby schools like Leonard Middle, which serves a similarly high-poverty population but ranks much lower overall (7th percentile). However, the school struggles with core grade-level proficiency—for example, 6th-grade Reading proficiency (36.78%) is well below the state average (53.52%). Additionally, the school has historically been very effective for Special Education and English Language Learner students, ranking in the 83rd and 85th percentiles respectively, but has seen sharp declines for other groups, such as male students (29th percentile) and White students (23rd percentile).

A critical warning sign is the school's dropout rate, which spiked to 6.2% in 2023-2024—far higher than the district average of 1.4% and every nearby school, which range from 0.0% to 2.3%. This is a major red flag that parents should investigate. While the school offers a unique opportunity for advanced students to take high school courses early, its overall performance is volatile. Compared to high-performing peers like Aledo Middle (90th+ percentile) or Applied Learning Academy (93.75% Algebra I proficiency), Uplift Elevate Prep's academic outcomes are inconsistent. The school's immediate priority should be addressing the dropout crisis and stabilizing performance across all student groups to build on its strengths in advanced coursework and support for vulnerable populations.
