Monnig Middle, Fort Worth TX - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on Monnig Middle

Monnig Middle serves students in grades six through eight in Fort Worth, operating as a regular public school within Fort Worth ISD. The school sits in a city undergoing rapid growth, where population has climbed steeply and housing costs have risen accordingly. The neighborhood around the school is economically mixed, with a substantial share of students coming from households that qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

The student body reflects Fort Worth's demographics. Roughly equal shares identify as Black and Hispanic, with smaller populations of white students and other groups. The school is mid-sized for its grade band, with a steady distribution across the three grades.

Academic performance presents a clear challenge that parents should understand directly. On state testing in math, results range from very low to modest: the lowest performance is in seventh grade, where essentially no students met proficiency; sixth grade shows slightly better results at roughly mid-teens proficiency; eighth grade, where math scores tend to improve systemwide, reaches roughly one-in-four students proficient or above. In English language arts, sixth-grade results are stronger than the other grades, with around two-in-five students meeting the standard, while seventh and eighth grades drop to roughly one-in-three and one-in-five respectively. Science and social studies proficiency is substantially lower, with science at roughly one-in-six and social studies at roughly one-in-fourteen for eighth-grade students.

Overall across all tested subjects and grades, the school's proficiency index places it in the bottom quartile when compared to other schools in Tarrant County. A parent may want to look directly into what academic support structures exist at the school, what instructional approaches are being used, and what the school's specific response plan is to these results.

The school's state testing data covers only the most recent year, so trend information is not available. Whether these results represent a recent shift or reflect longer patterns cannot be determined from the available information.

Fort Worth ISD does not report detailed breakdown data on special populations such as students with disabilities or English learners at the school level in the sourced information, so the extent of those populations at Monnig Middle is not specified here. The school operates under standard district policies and curriculum frameworks, though specific program offerings or specialized supports are not detailed in available sources.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
