Summary

Uplift Ascend Prep High School is a small high school in Fort Worth, TX, serving 318 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Uplift Education charter district, and it stands out in its neighborhood for its exceptionally low dropout rate of just 0.3%—far better than nearby schools like O D Wyatt High School (4.2%) and Everman High School (3.3%).

This school is a study in contrasts. Its strongest asset is an exceptional program for English Language Learners (ELL), ranking in the 75th percentile statewide—a remarkable achievement that far outpaces its overall 30th percentile ranking. However, the school struggles significantly with its Special Education students, ranking in the 8th percentile, which is a critical area needing improvement. The school also benefits from a favorable student-to-teacher ratio of 12.6:1, lower than many surrounding schools like South Hills High School (16:1) and Everman High School (16.9:1), suggesting potential for more personalized attention, though this advantage hasn't yet translated into top-tier overall academic scores.

For families in the area, Uplift Ascend represents a relatively stronger option compared to many deeply struggling nearby schools, such as Paint Rock Panther Academy (1st percentile) and Everman Academy High School (1st percentile). While it trails the high-performing Tarrant County College South/Fort Worth Collegiate High School (81st percentile), its low dropout rate and strong ELL support make it a noteworthy choice, especially for families whose children are English learners. The school's test scores have shown some volatility year-to-year, but its ability to retain students and support one of the most challenging student populations is a clear bright spot in the community.
