Fort Worth ISD’s Daggett Montessori has been ranked among the best schools in Texas for “children at risk”. The annual study is performed by Houston-based Children at Risk.

CHILDREN AT RISK is a nonprofit organization that drives change for children through research, education and influencing public policy

Children at Risk ranked more than 5,900 schools statewide. For each group of schools, a composite score was computed from information collected mostly from the Texas Education Agency. Data in up to 14 categories were included from the most recent year available, 2007 or 2008. Schools that did not have all measures available were not rated.

Daggett Montessori ranked as number 20 in Texas in the study.

Elementary measures included:

TAKS exam passing rates for: fifth-grade reading, math, science and performance on all tests; fourth-grade writing
Average class size for fifth grade
Attendance rates
Percentage economically disadvantaged
