Summary:

Charles Nash Elementary is a public elementary school in Fort Worth, Texas, serving 223 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Fort Worth Independent School District, which is ranked 783 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Charles Nash Elementary has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state in academic measures. The school's STAAR test scores across all grade levels and subjects are significantly lower than the district and state averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in STAAR Reading was 28.13%, compared to the district's 32.84% and the state's 48.85%. The school's performance is also below average for student subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, English Language Learners, and students with special needs. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 89.69% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

When compared to nearby schools within the same district, such as De Zavala Elementary, Charles Nash Elementary generally performs worse academically, with lower STAAR proficiency rates and lower statewide rankings. The school's performance has also declined over the years, as evidenced by its decreasing statewide ranking and SchoolDigger star rating, from 4 stars in 2013-2014 to 1 star in recent years. These factors suggest that Charles Nash Elementary faces significant challenges in addressing the academic needs of its student population and maintaining consistent improvement.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Open Quote This is a fantastic school. There is a low student to teacher ratio, which I believe has helped improved the academic performance of the students. Close Quote

Open Quote I was a student at Charles E. Nash five years ago, and I loved it there. The teachers were so great, and the classes small, so there was enough one on one time. I just loved that school, and everyone there. Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
