Summary:
The 76164 zip code area of Fort Worth, Texas is home to 5 schools serving students from elementary through high school, all part of the Fort Worth Independent School District (ISD). While the schools share some common challenges, a few standout performers emerge from the data.
Academically, the schools in this area struggle, with consistently low performance on state assessments compared to Texas averages. North Side High School has a graduation rate below the state average, while Elder Middle ranks in the bottom 5% of Texas middle schools. However, Elder Middle stands out with relatively strong performance on end-of-course exams, suggesting it may be effectively preparing students for high school. Similarly, Sam Rosen Elementary has above-average reading proficiency in 3rd and 5th grades, as well as higher Spanish-language reading scores, despite an overall low ranking.
Across the schools, the student population is predominantly Hispanic, ranging from 93.55% at North Side High to 96.5% at Sam Rosen Elementary. While the schools share this demographic challenge, the data indicates uneven resource allocation, with Rufino Mendoza Senior Elementary spending significantly more per student than the other schools. Addressing these systemic issues and identifying successful practices at the higher-performing schools could be key to improving outcomes for all students in the 76164 zip code area.
