Summary:
In zip code 76123, there is one middle school, Crowley Middle, serving grades 6 through 8 in Fort Worth, Texas, an area where a significant majority of students face economic challenges.
Crowley Middle is the sole middle school in this zip code and is part of the Crowley Independent School District (Isd). With 821 students, the school has a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.8:1, which supports more individualized attention. However, the school faces substantial academic hurdles, consistently ranking in the bottom 10-12% of Texas middle schools, with its most recent ranking dropping to the 8th percentile (0 stars). A very high 84.29% of students are economically disadvantaged, and test scores are significantly below both district and state averages across nearly all subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2025-2026, only 8.33% of 8th graders were proficient in Social Studies compared to 31.69% statewide, and Algebra I proficiency fell from a promising 48.65% (above the state average) in 2024-2025 to just 27.37% the following year.
Despite these challenges, there are some positive indicators. The school's dropout rate of 0.6% is less than half the district average of 1.6%, suggesting strong student retention. Additionally, in the 2024-2025 school year, 7th-grade math proficiency (6.98%) actually exceeded the district average (3.99%), though it remained far below the state average. The volatile Algebra I scores hint that a small group of advanced students may have driven a temporary spike, rather than a systemic improvement. Overall, Crowley Middle is a high-poverty school working to overcome significant academic gaps, with a few bright spots that suggest targeted interventions may be having some impact.
