Academy Of Visual And Performing Arts

Public, Charter Grades 6-8

Summary

The Academy Of Visual And Performing Arts is a public charter middle school located in Fort Worth, Texas, serving grades 6-7 with a total enrollment of 105 students. The school is part of the Academy Of Visual And Performing Arts District, which is ranked 936 out of 961 districts in Texas and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school's academic performance is significantly lower than the state averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, only 30.3% of 6th graders were proficient or better in reading, compared to the state average of 54.21%. The school's performance in mathematics is particularly concerning, with only 9.09% of 6th graders, 9.26% of 7th graders, and 10% of 8th graders achieving proficiency or better, compared to the state averages of 37.68%, 31.12%, and 44.81%, respectively. Compared to nearby schools like Idea Edgecliff College Preparatory and McLean 6th Grade, the Academy Of Visual And Performing Arts also performs poorly.

Despite having a relatively low student-to-teacher ratio of 5.2 in 2023-2024, the school's resources may not be effectively utilized or allocated to support student learning. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 63.81% in 2023-2024, indicates that the student population faces significant socioeconomic challenges, which may contribute to the academic struggles observed. Further investigation and targeted interventions may be necessary to improve the educational outcomes at the Academy Of Visual And Performing Arts.
