Elementary Schools in Fort Worth Independent School District (Isd)

The Fort Worth Independent School District (ISD) in Texas contains 81 elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade. The schools in this district exhibit a wide range of performance, with some standout institutions like Overton Park Elementary and Tanglewood Elementary ranking among the top 5% of Texas elementary schools, while others like Clifford Davis Elementary perform significantly below the state and district averages.

The data reveals substantial performance gaps between the highest and lowest-performing schools, both in terms of test scores and statewide rankings. This suggests that students' educational outcomes are heavily influenced by the specific school they attend within the Fort Worth ISD. There is also a strong correlation between student socioeconomic status and academic achievement, with the schools serving the highest percentages of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch tending to have the lowest test scores and rankings.

Interestingly, the high-performing schools like Overton Park, Tanglewood, Westpark, and Lily B Clayton have more diverse student populations in terms of race and ethnicity, suggesting that diversity may be a contributing factor to academic success. Additionally, the Daggett Montessori school, which follows a specialized educational approach, demonstrates strong performance across multiple grade levels and subject areas, outperforming the district and state averages.
