About Our School
Uplift Crescendo Preparatory is part of Uplift Education, the largest charter school network in North Texas. Our beautiful campus is located on Cooks Lane at I-30 in east Fort Worth and was built to allow more students to attend nearby, nationally-recognized Uplift Summit International for middle school and high school (Uplift Crescendo students receive automatic admission in the 6th grade to Uplift Summit). We are proud of our small school feel and tight-knit community of families.
