Summary

Sunrise - McMillan Elementary is a PK-5 school in Fort Worth, TX, serving 417 students within the Fort Worth Independent School District (Isd), where over 97% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. After years of ranking in the bottom 10-15% of Texas elementary schools, the school has shown a clear upward trajectory, climbing from a 1st percentile state ranking in 2018-2019 to a 14th percentile in 2025-2026—a notable improvement from the 0-star ratings it received for five consecutive years.

Sunrise - McMillan stands out for its exceptional progress with specific student groups. African American students at the school ranked in the 46th percentile statewide in 2025-2026, earning a 2-star rating—a dramatic jump from the 4th percentile just two years prior. Similarly, the school’s Special Education students improved from the 0th percentile to the 39th percentile in the same period, also earning a 2-star rating. In 5th-grade mathematics, the school’s proficiency rate (38.33%) nearly matched the district average and outperformed nearby schools like W M Green Elementary (5.41%) and Maudrie Walton Elementary (23.33%). However, the school faces a critical challenge with its bilingual program: proficiency rates on Spanish-language STAAR tests are very low (e.g., 5.88% in 4th-grade Reading), contrasting sharply with nearby Maude I Logan Elementary, which achieves 70% proficiency in 5th-grade Reading Spanish.

Located in a corridor of schools facing immense challenges—including W M Green Elementary and Maudrie Walton Elementary, both ranking in the bottom 5%—Sunrise - McMillan is a "bright spot" showing genuine recovery. Its per-student spending ($12,225) is lower than Maude I Logan Elementary ($19,843), which ranks in the 54th percentile, suggesting that how funds are used matters as much as the amount. The school’s student-teacher ratio of 16.5 is higher than Logan’s 12.9, indicating a potential area for investment. Sustaining this momentum will require addressing the bilingual program’s weaknesses while building on the strong gains seen in African American and Special Education student outcomes.
