Summary

Sam Rosen Elementary is a PK-5 school in the Fort Worth Independent School District (Isd) serving 407 students in a high-poverty area, where over 95% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school has historically struggled academically, ranking in the bottom 20th percentile of Texas elementary schools, but recent data shows a positive upward trend, reaching its highest state ranking in several years.

The most notable strength at Sam Rosen is its exceptional bilingual program, particularly in Spanish reading on the STAAR exam. In 3rd grade, 50% of students were proficient in Spanish reading, nearly double the district average of 26.69% and the state average of 28.3%. This pattern holds across multiple years and grade levels, setting Sam Rosen apart from nearby schools like Rufino Mendoza Senior Elementary and Kirkpatrick Elementary, which also have Spanish programs but don't achieve the same success. Additionally, the school has shown dramatic improvement in serving economically disadvantaged students, jumping from the 7th percentile statewide to the 34th percentile in just two years.

Despite these gains, Sam Rosen still lags behind key neighbors like Dolores Huerta Elementary (57th percentile) and Manuel Jara Elementary (48th percentile), which serve similar demographics but outperform in English math and reading. The school also faces challenges in science instruction, with 5th graders scoring only 11.11% proficient compared to the state average of 29.57%, and a sharp decline in serving Gifted and Talented students, dropping from the 43rd to the 1st percentile. With per-student spending of $11,011—higher than the district average and its higher-performing neighbors—the school may need to reallocate resources to strengthen core English instruction and science curriculum to continue its upward trajectory.
