Summary

McLean Middle in Fort Worth, TX, serves 757 students in grades 6-8 as part of the Fort Worth Independent School District (Isd), and has recently emerged as a standout performer in the area, earning a 3-star rating and ranking in the 61st percentile statewide for the 2025-2026 school year.

McLean Middle significantly outperforms its closest district peers, including Stripling Middle (39th percentile), Rosemont Middle (14th percentile), and Wedgwood Middle (9th percentile). The school’s most impressive feature is its advanced academics program, where 8th graders taking high school-level End-of-Course exams achieve near-perfect scores—94.55% proficient in Algebra I and 100% in Biology—far exceeding district and state averages. The school also benefits from a unique two-campus system, with a separate McLean 6th Grade campus that effectively prepares students for this rigorous coursework. However, a persistent challenge is 7th-grade math, where only 15.43% of students were proficient in 2025-2026, well below the state average of 29.41%, suggesting a need for targeted support in that grade level.

While McLean excels overall, its performance varies across student groups, with some subgroups achieving high rankings and others needing improvement. The school’s low dropout rate (0.7%) and lower rate of economic disadvantage (59.71% free/reduced lunch) compared to nearby schools like Morningside Middle (97.83%) contribute to its strong standing. For parents considering options, McLean offers a compelling choice for families seeking a school with elite advanced coursework and a clear upward trajectory, though it’s worth noting that nearby Idea Edgecliff College Preparatory—a charter school with a similar overall rank—shows more balanced performance across all student groups.
