Oakhurst Elementary

Summary:

Oakhurst Elementary is a public elementary school in Fort Worth, Texas, serving 479 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Fort Worth Independent School District (FWISD), which is ranked 783 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Oakhurst Elementary faces several challenges, including a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (93.11%) compared to the surrounding schools and the state average. The school's test scores are generally lower than the FWISD and Texas state averages across various subjects and grade levels, with its 3rd grade reading proficiency (24.68%) significantly lower than the FWISD (32.84%) and Texas (48.85%) averages. Oakhurst Elementary's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from 1,730 out of 4,320 Texas elementary schools in 2014-2015 to 3,168 out of 4,675 in 2023-2024, with a consistent 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with the school performing well for English Language Learners and Special Education students but struggling with Gifted and Talented students, ranking in the bottom 10% of Texas elementary schools in this category. Additionally, Oakhurst Elementary has a very high percentage of students (over 89%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Oakhurst Elementary's performance is generally lower than the nearby schools within the FWISD, such as Riverside Applied Learning Center and Natha Howell Elementary, which have higher test scores and better statewide rankings. Despite increased spending per student, from $9,433 in 2018-2019 to $10,545 in 2020-2021, the school's academic outcomes have not improved, suggesting a need for a comprehensive review of its educational strategies and resource allocation to address the challenges faced by its diverse student population.

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 From several years experience I can safely say this school could be much better. Parents are not being engaged properly in the PTO. Meetings are rarely held. This school teaches geared to standardized testing. The majority of students are in afteschool tutoring! Everything is done in a hurry without much vision or thought. No nap or rest time for kindergarteners. No snack time for students. Some are on a computer learning program all day without recess. It is sad. Close Quote

Open Quote Great school and could see positive changes in my child's attitude. We came from natha howell and would definately not recommend that school. Principal lets bullying from teachers happen and does nothing about when you tell her about it. Avoid that school at all costs! Close Quote

Open Quote My daughter use to go to Natha Howell but because the bullying got so bad and the principal did nothing about it I decided to put her at this school. She is so happy and whenever I have a problem with anything the principal talks to me and something is done about it. Her teachers are all real good with telling me how she is doing in class and if there is any problems with her education. 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.
