Summary

Benbrook Elementary in Fort Worth, TX, is a mid-sized public school serving 346 students in Pre-K through 5th grade within the Fort Worth Independent School District (Isd). The school has emerged as a true "rising star," jumping from the 53rd percentile statewide just a few years ago to the 80th percentile in 2025-2026, earning a 4-star rating and placing it in the top 20% of all Texas elementary schools. This remarkable momentum makes it a standout option, especially when compared to nearby schools like Luella Merrett Elementary and Waverly Park Elementary, which have consistently struggled.

Benbrook consistently outperforms the district average by a wide margin—for example, 4th-grade Reading proficiency hit 65.96% compared to the district's 43.92%. The school is particularly effective with its student population, earning 4-star ratings for its work with low socio-economic status students and those in Special Education. A fascinating pattern is the "Benbrook Bump" in 4th-grade Math, where proficiency jumps over 16 percentage points from 3rd grade, suggesting a highly effective teaching team at that level. While Reading and Math are strong, 5th-grade Science remains a weak point, with only 28% of students proficient in 2024-2025, an area for future focus.

Perhaps the most compelling comparison is to Basis Benbrook, a prestigious charter school located just 0.75 miles away. Benbrook Elementary now ranks at the 80th percentile, nearly neck-and-neck with BASIS's 84th percentile—a remarkable achievement for a traditional public school. While schools like Overton Park Elementary and Westpark Elementary remain higher-performing, Benbrook offers a compelling, high-quality option that rivals a top charter, making it a strong choice for families seeking academic growth and momentum in the Fort Worth area.
