Ignite Community School-Fort Worth

Public, Charter Grades PK, KG-8

Summary

Ignite Community School-Fort Worth is a public charter elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Fort Worth, Texas. With 363 students enrolled, the school is part of the Texas College Preparatory Academies district, which is ranked 334 out of 961 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite its small class sizes, with a student-teacher ratio ranging from 8.1 to 10 students per teacher, Ignite Community School-Fort Worth has consistently low academic performance compared to the state and its district. The school ranks in the bottom 20% of Texas elementary schools, with only 1 out of 5 SchoolDigger stars. Its proficiency rates in STAAR Reading and Math are significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels. The school also struggles to effectively serve its subgroups, ranking in the bottom 30-40% of Texas elementary schools for both female and male students, as well as for African American students and economically disadvantaged students.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Trinity Lakes Elementary, which outperforms Ignite Community School-Fort Worth by 20-30 percentage points in STAAR Reading and Math, the school's performance is significantly worse. Additionally, Ignite Community School-Fort Worth's high dropout rates, ranging from 1.7% to 2.4% over the past few years, are higher than the state average. With over 84% of its students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school serves a highly disadvantaged population, which may contribute to its academic challenges.
