Summary

Idea Edgecliff Academy is a public charter elementary school serving 721 students in grades K-5 in Fort Worth, Texas. As part of the Idea Public Schools district, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools over the past few years, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Idea Edgecliff Academy faces significant challenges in terms of student academic performance, particularly in Math, where proficiency rates range from 28-34% across grades 3-5, well below the state average of 44.88%. The school's diverse student population, including a high proportion of economically disadvantaged students, tends to perform below their peers statewide. Interestingly, the nearby Texas School of the Arts charter school significantly outperforms Idea Edgecliff Academy on test scores, suggesting the charter school model can be effective in this area, but Idea Edgecliff Academy is not achieving the same level of success.

Despite Idea Edgecliff Academy's higher-than-average spending of $11,527 per student, the school's academic performance does not seem to reflect this level of investment. In fact, the school's performance has declined over the past few years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 2,051 out of 4,581 elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 2,751 out of 4,647 in 2022-2023. While the school outperforms some nearby Fort Worth Independent School District schools, it still struggles to match the academic outcomes of its peers, both within the charter school network and in the surrounding area.
