Summary

Bill J Elliott Elementary is a PK-5 public school in Fort Worth, TX, serving 381 students within the Fort Worth Independent School District (Isd), where over 85% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school has historically struggled, consistently ranking in the bottom 20% of Texas elementary schools over the past decade, with a current ranking in the 5th percentile for the 2025-2026 school year.

One of the most critical differentiators is the school's catastrophic performance in Mathematics. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 7.32% of 3rd graders were proficient in Math, a rate far lower than any nearby school—the next closest was Pope Elementary at 16%. While the school improved to 21.57% in 2025-2026, this remains the lowest among its peers. The school also shows extreme volatility in serving specific student groups, with Special Education students dropping from the 67th percentile statewide in 2024-2025 to the 11th percentile in 2025-2026. Additionally, Bill J Elliott has a higher student-teacher ratio (16.9) compared to nearby schools like Atwood McDonald Elementary (13.2) and Lowery Road (12.9), making individualized attention more challenging.

Despite these struggles, there was a brief glimmer of hope in the 2024-2025 school year when Bill J Elliott outperformed the district average in Reading across 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades, suggesting that effective instructional strategies can work. However, this success was not sustained, and the school's performance collapsed again in 2025-2026. The data also highlights a stark educational divide: Duff Elementary, just 1.9 miles away in the Arlington Independent School District (Isd), serves a wealthier population and ranks in the 81st percentile, while Bill J Elliott and its Fort Worth ISD neighbors are clustered in the bottom 15-30% of the state. This suggests that the school's challenges are deeply tied to systemic socioeconomic factors and district-level resource allocation.
