Summary

Como Elementary is a public charter elementary school in Fort Worth, Texas, serving 421 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Fort Worth Independent School District, which is ranked 733 out of 961 districts in the state.

Como Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools, with below-average performance on STAAR assessments compared to the district and state. For example, in 2024-2025, only 38.81% of 5th graders were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 46.44% for the district and 57.83% for the state. The school's performance is particularly low in STAAR Science, with only 10.45% of 5th graders proficient or better. Despite spending more per student ($14,867 in 2020-2021) and having a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.6 to 1, these resources have not translated into better academic outcomes.

Interestingly, nearby schools such as Alice Carlson Applied Learning Center, Ridglea Hills Elementary, and Tanglewood Elementary generally outperform Como Elementary on academic measures, with higher STAAR proficiency rates and better statewide rankings. For example, Tanglewood Elementary ranked in the top 5% of Texas elementary schools in 2024-2025 and had significantly higher STAAR proficiency rates across all subjects and grade levels. However, Como Elementary's performance for Hispanic and English Language Learner students is relatively stronger, suggesting that targeted interventions could potentially help improve outcomes for the entire student body.
