About Our School
Uplift Meridian Preparatory is part of Uplift Education, the largest charter school network in North Texas. Our beautiful campus is located in southeast Fort Worth and was built to allow more students to attend nearby, nationally-recognized Uplift Mighty for middle school and high school. Uplift Mighty is nationally recognized as one of the top high schools in the nation (students at Uplift Meridian will receive automatic admission to Uplift Mighty when moving from 5th to 6th grade). We are proud of our small school feel and tight-knit community of families. Schedule a tour to see for yourself how we are raising the expectations for education!

This week was full of meaningful moments across our campus! From our 3-5 grade scholars showing determination during the last days of STAAR testing, to our PreK learners exploring the plant cycle, scholars learning and celebrating Earth Day, to Kindergarten attending a field trip to the Fort Worth Zoo that continued rain or shine — the learning never stopped. 🌱📚 We celebrated our amazing receptionists (Noemi and Martha) and attendance clerk (Mrs. Barraza), for Administrative Professionals Day. A huge shoutout to our Family Engagement Coordinator, Ms. Raven — from quietly working behind the scenes of supporting families during enrollment, increasing scholar and parent involvement, sending out weekly campus communications, and also representing our school at last night’s Volunteer Appreciation Celebration at the Frontier Museum for our amazing parent volunteers — we appreciate you. Speaking of volunteers — congratulations to Bertha A. for being named our Campus Volunteer of the 2025–2026 school year! 🎉 And a round of applause for Beatriz O, Candy R, and Sophia R. for their volunteering leadership on our campus and for being in attendance at the celebration. 👏 Now that’s what we call a week worth celebrating! #WildcatPride #FamilyEngagementMatters #StrongerTogether #AdministrativeSupport #UpliftMeridian
