Summary

Benbrook Middle/High School in Fort Worth, TX, serves 1,478 students in grades 6-12 and is a standout performer within the Fort Worth Independent School District (Isd), offering a stable, high-quality education in a moderately diverse community where 44.5% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch.

Academically, Benbrook is a clear outlier compared to nearby district peers. It ranks in the 59th percentile statewide, far exceeding Southwest High School (22nd percentile), Western Hills High School (11th percentile), and Success High School (12th percentile). In subjects like Biology and U.S. History, Benbrook’s proficiency rates (73.6% and 71.1%, respectively) are at or above state averages, while its graduation rate of 91.2% is nearly 9 points higher than the district average. The school also boasts an exceptionally low dropout rate of 0.4%, compared to the district’s 3.1%. However, a notable concern is 7th-grade math, where proficiency has remained below 4% for three consecutive years, suggesting a need for curriculum review.

While Benbrook excels overall, it faces competition from nearby charter schools like Fort Worth Academy Of Fine Arts (5-star, 91st percentile) and Harmony School Of Innovation - Fort Worth (4-star, 82nd percentile), which outperform it in English and other subjects. Within the school, subgroup performance varies: female and Hispanic students rank highly, but multi-racial and gifted students show lower rankings, indicating areas for improvement. Overall, Benbrook is a strong, stable choice for families seeking a high-performing school within the Fort Worth ISD, with metrics more comparable to those in the higher-performing Crowley Independent School District (Isd) than to its immediate neighbors.
