Summary

Richard J Wilson Elementary is a PK-5 public school in Fort Worth, TX, serving 508 students as part of the Fort Worth Independent School District (Isd), and it faces significant academic challenges, with over 93% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch and a state ranking that has remained in the bottom 10% of Texas elementary schools for the past five years.

Academically, the school struggles most in mathematics, where only 13.92% of 3rd graders were proficient in 2024-2025, compared to 33.78% in the district and 44.88% statewide. This is a stark contrast to nearby Worth Heights Elementary, just 0.83 miles away, which serves a similarly high-poverty population but ranks in the 70th percentile and achieved 64.15% proficiency in 3rd-grade math. Reading scores show a curious pattern: 5th-grade reading proficiency (51.39% in 2024-2025) is much higher than 3rd-grade reading (24.53%), suggesting strong upper-grade instruction but a critical failure to build foundational skills early. The school’s Spanish-language program also underperforms, with 0% proficiency on some Spanish STAAR tests, indicating the bilingual program may not be effectively supporting English Language Learners.

Despite these challenges, there is a notable bright spot: the Gifted and Talented (G/T) program ranks in the 58th percentile statewide, a massive outlier compared to the school’s overall 7th percentile ranking. This suggests that while the general education program struggles, the G/T program is highly effective at accelerating its highest-ability students. The school’s performance has declined sharply since 2018-2019, when it ranked in the 40th percentile, pointing to systemic issues. The key takeaway for parents is that while the school offers a strong G/T program, the majority of students face significant academic hurdles, and nearby schools like Alice D Contreras (69th percentile) and Daggett Montessori (56th percentile) demonstrate that high-poverty schools in the area can achieve much stronger results.
