Woodway Elementary

Summary:

Woodway Elementary is a public elementary school in Fort Worth, Texas, serving 494 students in grades PK-5. 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.

Woodway Elementary faces significant challenges compared to both state and local standards. The school has a much higher percentage of Hispanic students (57.49%) than nearby schools, which range from 19.32% to 40.6% Hispanic. Academically, Woodway consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with performance on STAAR tests well below district and state averages across all grade levels and subjects. The school also struggles to perform well for various student subgroups, ranking in the bottom quartile for African American, Hispanic, and Economically Disadvantaged students, as well as for Gifted and Talented students.

The nearby schools, such as Hazel Harvey Peace Elementary, J.T. Stevens Elementary, and Bruce Shulkey Elementary, also perform poorly compared to state averages, suggesting that the challenges faced by Woodway Elementary may be systemic within the Fort Worth ISD. Woodway's high percentage of economically disadvantaged and minority students, coupled with its consistently low performance, raises concerns about educational equity and the district's ability to provide adequate resources and support to this school community.

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 school has lots of problems with bully's. The principle is not very strong, she is NOT capable of handling problem children. There are some strong teachers but they have to teach to the bottom third of their classes. Smart kids are left behind. The school is not strong in reading and there are no tutoring opportunities available to the kids. Money was spent on computer and science labs. While these things are nice, shouldn't they focus the money on teaching kids to read. 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.
