Chapel Hill Academy

Public, Charter Grades

Summary

Chapel Hill Academy is a public charter elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Fort Worth, Texas, with a diverse student population of over 600 students. Despite its diverse enrollment, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Texas elementary schools, with a 1-star rating out of 5 in recent years.

Academically, Chapel Hill Academy struggles significantly, with proficiency rates on STAAR tests well below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 26.42% in 4th grade reading to 51.85% in 3rd grade math, compared to the state averages of 50.66% and 40.86%, respectively. The school's performance also varies widely across different student subgroups, with Great Hearts Lakeside, a nearby public charter school, consistently outperforming Chapel Hill Academy by 20-30 percentage points on STAAR tests.

Other concerning factors at Chapel Hill Academy include a higher dropout rate compared to the state average, ranging from 0.8% to 1.4%, and a significant majority (72.92% in 2022-2023) of students coming from low-income families. Despite spending more per student ($9,872 in 2020-2021) and having a lower student-teacher ratio (15.2 in 2022-2023) than some nearby schools, these factors do not seem to translate into higher academic achievement. The school's challenges suggest the need for a comprehensive review of its educational practices and support systems to better serve its diverse student population.

They lost half of their teachers to other schools last year and this year teachers are again walking out in droves. Ask yourself, why would teachers quit in the middle of the year??? Close Quote
