Better than 25% of Texas elementary schools

Summary

L A Gililland Elementary in Fort Worth, TX, serves 503 students in grades PK-5 within the Eagle Mt-Saginaw Independent School District (Isd), a district ranked in the 32nd percentile statewide, and the school itself has historically performed below the state average, with about 75% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch.

A standout strength is the school's recent breakthrough with African American students, who jumped from the 4th percentile to the 81st percentile in just two years, suggesting targeted interventions are working well. The school also excels with English Language Learners, who rank in the 69th percentile, far above the school's overall 25th percentile ranking. However, a significant "4th grade slump" is a concern: proficiency rates in reading and math drop sharply in 4th grade compared to 3rd and 5th grades, with only 23.4% proficient in reading and 19.4% in math. This pattern is not as severe at nearby Willow Creek Elementary, which is in the same district and outperforms Gililland in nearly every subject, despite serving a less affluent population. For example, Willow Creek's 4th-grade math proficiency is 45.6% versus Gililland's 19.4%.

In contrast, Sunset Valley Elementary in the Keller Independent School District (Isd), just 1.5 miles away, ranks in the 65th percentile and consistently scores 10-20 percentage points higher, reflecting a different performance tier. Gililland does show a positive trend in 5th-grade science, where it outperformed district peers like Remington Point Elementary and Saginaw Elementary in 2024-2025. However, the school's Gifted and Talented program has seen a dramatic decline, dropping to the 7th percentile, indicating a need for better enrichment for high-achieving students. Overall, Gililland has clear areas of strength but faces challenges that require targeted attention, especially in 4th grade and for its highest-performing students.
