Summary

Iltexas Keller Middle in Fort Worth, TX, is a public charter school serving 440 students in grades 6 through 8, and it stands out as a high-performing school within the International Leadership Of Texas (Iltexas) charter district, which overall holds a 2-star rating. Despite its district's lower ranking, Iltexas Keller Middle earns a 4-star rating and ranks in the 80th percentile among all Texas middle schools, a position it has maintained for most of the last decade. The school serves a moderately diverse student body, with 45% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch.

What truly sets Iltexas Keller Middle apart is its exceptional performance for specific student groups and its efficiency. African American students at this school rank in the 89th percentile statewide, and students from low-income backgrounds rank in the 78th percentile, showing the school is highly effective at closing achievement gaps. In core subjects, the school often outperforms nearby peers: its 7th-grade reading proficiency (73.65%) is significantly higher than Highland Middle (48.47%) and Prairie Vista (43.63%), and its 8th-grade social studies proficiency (43.94%) is the highest among all nearby schools. The school also achieves a perfect 100% proficiency rate on the English I End-of-Course exam, a feat unmatched by any nearby school, and does so with a per-student spending of just $6,854—far less than schools like Fossil Hill Middle ($12,634) or Timberview Middle ($9,859).

There are a few interesting nuances to note. The school's 7th-grade math scores are reported as 0% proficient, which is likely due to advanced math placement (many students take Algebra I instead), as evidenced by strong Algebra I scores (70.16%). The school has also shown dramatic improvement for English Language Learners, jumping from the 54th to the 83rd percentile in recent years. While the school's performance has slightly declined from a historic peak in 2016-2017 (when it ranked in the 94th percentile), it remains a top-tier choice in a competitive landscape, often outperforming schools in the more affluent Keller Independent School District (Isd) despite having a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students.
