Summary

Diamond Hill-Jarvis High School in Fort Worth, TX, serves 877 students in grades 9-12 and is part of the Fort Worth Independent School District (Isd), with over 94% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, reflecting a community with extremely high economic need.

This school presents a unique paradox: it excels at keeping students on track to graduate, with a graduation rate of 87.7% that surpasses the district average of 82.6%, yet its academic proficiency rates remain among the lowest in the area. For instance, only 17.44% of students were proficient in Algebra I, compared to 25.56% at nearby North Side High School. However, there is a glimmer of hope: proficiency rates have improved in every tested subject over the past three years, such as Biology rising from 12.5% to 37.26%. The school also shows a relative strength in serving Special Education students, who rank in the 22nd percentile statewide—a notable outlier compared to the school's overall bottom 10% ranking.

When compared to Carter-Riverside High School, another low-performing comprehensive school in the area, Diamond Hill-Jarvis has a higher graduation rate (87.7% vs. 84.8%) and a lower dropout rate (1.6% vs. 2.2%), but Carter-Riverside outperforms it in subjects like Biology (49.83% vs. 37.26%). The school spends about $11,230 per student, which is higher than the high-performing Marine Creek Collegiate High School ($7,444), suggesting that funding alone isn't the issue—rather, the challenge lies in translating resources into academic gains for a high-poverty student body.
