Summary

Springdale Elementary in Fort Worth, TX, is a PK-5 school serving 393 students within the Fort Worth Independent School District (Isd), where over 94% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, reflecting a high-poverty community. The school currently holds a 1-star rating and ranks in the 20th percentile statewide, indicating significant academic challenges, though it has shown pockets of strength, particularly in 5th Grade Reading, where 59% of students were proficient in 2024-2025—outperforming the district average of 46% and even the state average of 58%. However, this success is not consistent across subjects, as Science scores are critically low, with only 11% of 5th graders proficient in 2024-2025, compared to the state average of 30%.

When compared to nearby schools, Springdale’s performance is mixed. For instance, Riverside Applied Learning Center, just 0.86 miles away, is a top-performing school in the 76th percentile, with a lower poverty rate (76%) and smaller class sizes, achieving 54% proficiency in 5th Grade Science. In contrast, Natha Howell Elementary also struggles with Science, at just 2% proficiency. Springdale’s per-student spending of $11,038 is higher than some peers like Oakhurst Elementary ($10,545), but this investment has not yielded top-tier results, unlike Riverside, which spends more ($12,110) and achieves better outcomes.

A notable finding is Springdale’s historical strength with "At Risk" students, ranking in the 74th percentile in 2021-2022, suggesting effective interventions for vulnerable learners. However, the school faces critical weaknesses, including a 1st percentile ranking for Special Education students in 2024-2025, indicating urgent need for improvement. Additionally, female students perform better than male students, with a widening gap in recent years. The school’s most pressing challenges are overhauling its Special Education program and boosting Science instruction, with Riverside’s model of focused resources and small class sizes offering a potential blueprint for change.
