HANDLEY MIDDLE SCHOOL

HANDLEY MIDDLE is a Title I public middle school that is part of the FORT WORTH ISD school district, located in FORT WORTH, TX with about 452 students offering grade levels from 6th Grade to 8th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 43 teachers, HANDLEY MIDDLE has a student/teacher ratio of about 10:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

HANDLEY MIDDLE School is a public school serving students in grades 6–8 as part of the Fort Worth Independent School District. Located in East Fort Worth, the school functions within a large urban district, providing a traditional middle school curriculum that emphasizes core subjects such as mathematics, science, English language arts, and social studies. Like many schools in the district, it focuses on preparing students for the transition to high school by fostering academic growth and social development during the formative middle school years.

The school operates under the broader mission of the Fort Worth Independent School District, which prioritizes equitable access to education and the implementation of various support services for its diverse student population. Families interested in specific extracurricular offerings, campus performance data, or enrollment procedures can find comprehensive resources through the official district website at [www.fortworthisd.org](http://www.fortworthisd.org). Because district-wide policies frequently shift to reflect new academic initiatives and safety protocols, the school’s website is the best primary source for the most up-to-date information regarding campus events and student achievement.
