Summary

Richard Milburn Academy Fort Worth is a small alternative high school in Fort Worth, TX, serving 167 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Richard Milburn Alter High School (Killeen) district, which ranks in the bottom 1% of Texas school districts. The school serves a high-needs population, with over 60% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, and its primary mission appears to be supporting students who have struggled in traditional school settings.

The school faces extreme challenges, with a graduation rate of just 18.3% in the 2023-2024 school year—dramatically lower than nearby alternative schools like Premier H S of Fort Worth (30.6%) and Success High School (31.9%), and a fraction of traditional high schools like Castleberry High School (96.0%). The dropout rate is 26.8%, more than triple that of Success High School (17.7%) and nearly 90 times higher than Castleberry High School (0.3%). Academic proficiency is also critically low, with 0% proficiency in Algebra I and 2.7% in English I Reading in the 2025-2026 school year, though U.S. History stands out as a relative strength at 41.67% proficiency—consistently the school's best subject over the past four years.

This school functions primarily as a credit recovery or dropout recovery program, serving students at extreme risk of leaving school entirely. Its per-student spending of $8,990 is lower than nearby alternatives like Success High School ($16,994) and Transition Center ($30,504), suggesting that poor outcomes reflect the immense difficulty of re-engaging its student population rather than a lack of funding. While the school's metrics are the worst in its area, the consistent performance in U.S. History offers a potential foundation for improvement.
