Summary

Benbrook Elementary is a public elementary school in Fort Worth, Texas, serving 351 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Fort Worth Independent School District. The school consistently outperforms the district and state on STAAR tests, particularly in reading, where 3rd, 4th, and 5th-grade proficiency rates exceed 50%. However, Benbrook's math and science scores, while still higher than the district, are closer to or below the state averages.

Benbrook's diverse student population shows varied performance, with Hispanic and White students ranking in the top 50% of Texas elementary schools, while African American and multi-racial students rank in the bottom 10%. Interestingly, English Language Learners and students with special needs at Benbrook have shown strong performance, ranking in the top 20% of Texas elementary schools. Despite having a relatively high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, Benbrook's performance for this population is generally better than the district and state averages.

When compared to nearby schools, Benbrook's performance is mixed. While it outperforms some schools in the district, it lags behind high-performing schools like Overton Park Elementary and Westpark Elementary. Notably, Basis Benbrook, a public charter school less than a mile away, consistently outperforms Benbrook Elementary on STAAR tests across all grade levels and subjects.
