Summary:
Zip code 76110 is served by a single middle school, Daggett Middle, which serves grades 6 through 8 and is part of the Fort Worth Independent School District (Isd).
Daggett Middle presents a complex picture for parents. The school serves a highly economically disadvantaged population, with over 90% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch. While it has a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13:1 and per-pupil spending above $12,000, its overall state ranking has declined sharply, falling from the 12th percentile to the 3rd percentile over the last two years. A critical concern is the 0% proficiency rate in 7th-grade math, meaning no student met the state standard in that subject. Performance in other core subjects like 6th-grade reading (23.81% proficient) and 8th-grade social studies (10.19% proficient) also significantly trails district and state averages.
However, the school shows a remarkable "two-schools-in-one" dynamic. Students enrolled in advanced high school-level End-of-Course (EOC) exams achieve exceptional results, with 96.77% proficient in Biology and 88.37% proficient in English I Reading—far exceeding district and state averages. Additionally, the school's dropout rate of 1.6% is notably lower than the district average of 3.1%, indicating strong student retention despite academic challenges. This contrast suggests that while the general student body struggles, the school successfully accelerates its highest-performing students, making it a school of extremes where outcomes depend heavily on a student's academic track.
