Summary

Swift Elementary is a public elementary school in Arlington, Texas, serving 562 students in grades PK-6. It is part of the Arlington Independent School District, which has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Swift Elementary's performance on STAAR tests is significantly below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, only 28.85% of 3rd-grade students at Swift Elementary were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 41.53% for the district and 52.02% for the state. The school also has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 84.52% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024. However, the school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with African American students ranking in the bottom 25% of Texas elementary schools, while English Language Learners ranked in the top 50%.

When compared to nearby schools in the same district, the differences in academic performance are significant. For instance, Duff Elementary, located just 1.55 miles away, consistently ranks in the top 20% of Texas elementary schools and outperforms Swift Elementary across all STAAR test subjects and grade levels. Despite higher-than-average spending per student, Swift Elementary's performance has remained relatively stagnant, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and strategies to address the unique needs of its diverse student population and improve overall student outcomes.
