Summary

Int'l Newcomer Academy in Fort Worth, TX, is a specialized middle school serving 429 students in grades 6-9 within the Fort Worth Independent School District (Isd), designed as a landing pad for recent immigrants and English Language Learners.

This school is unlike any other in the area because it focuses on students who are brand new to the United States. Because of this unique mission, its test scores look very different from nearby schools. For example, in 7th grade reading, the school scored 0% proficient, while William James Middle scored 15.35% and Daggett Middle scored 54.74%. In 8th grade math, Int'l Newcomer scored 12.2% proficient, compared to 50.84% at nearby Forest Oak Middle. These low scores are a predictable result of testing students in English before they have had time to learn the language. The school also has a higher and more volatile dropout rate than its neighbors, peaking at 8.5% in 2019-2020, though it has since improved to 4.2%.

Despite the challenges, there are signs of progress. The school shows a relative bright spot in Algebra I, where 14.52% of students were proficient—much higher than its near-zero scores in grade-level math. This suggests the school may be successfully accelerating its most capable students. The school also includes 9th grade, offering an extra year of support before students move to a comprehensive high school. In 2020-2021, the school spent $23,222 per student, more than double any nearby school, reflecting a major investment in resources for this unique population. Ultimately, Int'l Newcomer Academy's real success should be measured by how well it helps students learn English and transition to high school, not just by standardized test scores.
