Summary

FitzGerald Elementary is a public elementary school in Arlington, Texas, serving around 550 students in grades PK-6 and part of the Arlington Independent School District (ISD).

FitzGerald Elementary has shown a mixed academic performance, with STAAR test scores that have fluctuated in recent years, sometimes exceeding and sometimes falling short of district and state averages. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 5th-grade reading proficiency was higher than the district and state, but its 3rd-grade math proficiency was lower. The school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with some, such as Asian and African American students, performing better than others. FitzGerald Elementary's resources and staffing levels appear to be on par with nearby schools like Williams Elementary and Bebensee Elementary, which have similar demographic profiles and district rankings.

Interestingly, some nearby schools, such as Ashworth Elementary and West Elementary, have outperformed FitzGerald Elementary on STAAR tests in recent years, particularly in reading and math. In contrast, the nearby Manara STEM Academy, a public charter school, has significantly lower STAAR test scores compared to FitzGerald Elementary and the district/state averages, despite serving a similar demographic population.
