Summary

Ashworth Elementary in Arlington, TX, serves 464 students in grades PK-6 within the Arlington Independent School District (Isd), a high-poverty area where over 77% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school currently holds a 2-star rating and ranks in the 45th percentile, a notable decline from its peak 4-star rating and 79th percentile ranking in 2016-2017. This downward trend contrasts sharply with nearby schools like Pearcy Stem Academy (0.66 miles away) and Beckham Elementary (1.36 miles away), which have risen to the 76th and 84th percentiles, respectively.

Despite its overall decline, Ashworth shows a unique strength in upper elementary grades. In the most recent testing, 5th and 6th graders outperformed both district and state averages in Reading and Mathematics—a reversal of typical patterns where younger grades often perform better. For example, 6th grade Reading (57.38%) exceeded the state average (53.52%) and district average (47.85%). This recent surge suggests targeted interventions are working for these grades. Additionally, the school boasts a favorable student-teacher ratio of 10.8:1, significantly better than Bebensee Elementary (15.5:1) and Pearcy Stem Academy (12.5:1), offering potential for more individualized instruction.

However, Ashworth struggles with its Gifted and Talented students, ranking in the 29th percentile, while performing adequately for At Risk and low socio-economic status students. Per-student spending ($11,406) is higher than many Arlington ISD peers, yet results remain mixed, particularly in foundational 3rd and 4th grades. The school’s future success likely depends on replicating upper-grade achievements schoolwide and developing stronger programs for high-achieving students. Nearby Mansfield Independent School District (Isd) schools like Glenn Harmon Elementary and Janet Brockett Elementary offer volatile comparisons, but overall, Ashworth has resources and potential that are not yet translating into consistent high performance.
