J Martin Jacquet Middle

Jacquet Middle serves a tight-knit working-class community on Fort Worth's east side, where families are deeply rooted in the neighborhood and school pride runs strong. The surrounding 76105 zip code has a gritty, hardworking character — close to downtown Fort Worth but a world away from its more affluent suburbs — and for families here, Jacquet is the local school they make work for their kids. Math shows a relative bright spot compared to other subjects, and families who want to stay connected to their community rather than pursue transfers will find a school that reflects the real fabric of this part of the city.
