In zip code 76107, there is one middle school, Stripling Middle, serving grades 6 through 8 with 518 students in the Fort Worth area, a community where 65.44% of students are economically disadvantaged.
Stripling Middle presents a unique profile of stark contrasts. The school is a standout for its advanced coursework, achieving 100% proficiency in English I Reading and 89% in Biology End-of-Course (EOC) exams, rates that are roughly double the state average and triple the Fort Worth Independent School District (Isd) average. However, in standard grade-level subjects, performance is much lower. For example, only 23.48% of students are proficient in 6th-8th grade math, which is well below the state average of 38.41%, though it matches the district average. The school’s overall state ranking has improved for three straight years, rising from the 29th percentile to the 39th percentile (2 stars), indicating a positive trajectory.
Key metrics show a student-teacher ratio of 15.1 and per-student spending of $10,330. The school’s biggest challenge is mathematics, with 7th grade proficiency at just 11.69%, far below the state’s 29.41%. Despite this, Stripling Middle consistently outperforms its district in nearly every subject and has a very low dropout rate of 0.5% compared to the district’s 3.1%. For parents, this school offers exceptional opportunities for students ready for advanced classes, but the core academic performance, especially in math, remains a significant area for improvement.
