Better than 12% of Texas middle schools

Summary

Daggett Middle in Fort Worth, TX, serves 353 students in grades 6-8 and is part of the Fort Worth Independent School District (Isd), with over 90% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch. This school is a study in contrasts: while it has historically ranked in the bottom 10% of Texas middle schools, it is now on a sharp upward trend, moving from the 3rd percentile to the 12th percentile in 2025-2026—its highest rank in six years. This improvement is driven by an exceptionally strong advanced coursework program, where students in Biology and English I End-of-Course (EOC) exams achieve proficiency rates that rival or exceed top nearby schools like McLean Middle (61st percentile). For example, Daggett’s Biology proficiency rate of 96.77% far surpasses the district average of 53.84% and even beats Stripling Middle (89.04%), a school with a much lower poverty rate.

However, this success is not evenly distributed. Daggett functions like "two schools": its advanced track thrives, but standard grade-level subjects struggle significantly. In 2025-2026, only 5.56% of 6th graders and 0% of 7th graders were proficient in Math, while 54.74% of 7th graders were proficient in Reading—a massive gap that suggests a specific challenge with the math curriculum. This contrasts sharply with Morningside Middle and William James Middle, which remain stagnant in the 2nd percentile. Daggett also spends more per student ($12,338) than higher-performing neighbors like McLean ($9,040) and Stripling ($10,330), and has a lower student-teacher ratio (13:1), suggesting targeted investments that may be paying off for advanced learners.

Despite academic challenges, Daggett has a lower dropout rate (1.6%) than the district average (3.1%), indicating strong student retention. The school also shows relative strength for specific groups, such as African American students (30th percentile in 2024-2025) and Special Education students (44th percentile in 2025-2026), which are higher than its overall rank. For parents, Daggett offers a unique opportunity: if your child is ready for advanced coursework, they can access a program that competes with the best in the area. But for students needing support in standard subjects, especially math, the school faces significant hurdles that require careful consideration.
