Summary

Stripling Middle is a public middle school in Fort Worth, Texas, serving 515 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Fort Worth Independent School District, which has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Stripling Middle has seen fluctuating performance over the years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 710 to 1668 out of around 2,300 Texas middle schools, and a 2-3 star rating from SchoolDigger.

Stripling Middle generally outperforms the district and state in STAAR test proficiency, with 56.38% of 6th graders proficient in reading compared to 38.24% district-wide and 54.21% statewide. However, the school has relatively high dropout rates, ranging from 0.2% to 4.1%, and a high percentage of students (64.27%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Despite higher per-student spending ($10,330 in 2020-2021) and a low student-teacher ratio (14.5), the school's overall performance does not seem commensurate with the level of funding, suggesting potential areas for improvement.

Compared to nearby schools, Stripling Middle generally performs better than Applied Learning Academy and Daggett Middle, but lags behind the high-performing Idea Rise College Preparatory, a public charter school. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with female students and Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Special Education students struggling more than their peers.
