Summary

Basswood Elementary is a PK-5 school in Fort Worth, TX, serving 563 students as part of the highly-rated Keller Independent School District (Isd), though its overall state ranking has notably declined from a 4-star (77th percentile) rating in 2018-2019 to a 3-star (52nd percentile) rating for the 2025-2026 school year.

This school stands out for its exceptional performance with specific student groups, particularly English Language Learners (80th percentile) and Hispanic students (74th percentile) in the 2024-2025 school year. A unique strength is its bilingual program: 3rd and 4th graders consistently score higher on the Spanish Reading STAAR than on the English version, suggesting highly effective instruction for Spanish-speaking students. However, the school shows a "leaky pipeline" effect where students lose ground as they progress, with 3rd-grade Reading proficiency (54.41%) above the state average but 5th-grade Reading (45.45%) well below it. The school also demonstrates an ability to accelerate top math students, as evidenced by an outlier 88.89% proficiency rate on the 6th-grade Math STAAR, likely taken by advanced 5th graders. Compared to nearby Park Glen Elementary, which maintains a high 4-star (87th percentile) ranking with a much lower rate of economic disadvantage (30.48% vs. 64.3%), Basswood faces different challenges tied to its higher percentage of students receiving free/reduced lunch.

Basswood appears to be a school in transition, navigating demographic shifts that have seen its economic disadvantage rate rise from 60.62% to 64.3% over the past three years. While it excels with Hispanic students (83rd percentile in 2025-2026), it struggles significantly with White students (16th percentile in the same year), indicating instructional strategies that may be well-suited for one demographic but not meeting the needs of another. For parents considering this school, Basswood offers strong bilingual programs and targeted support for English Language Learners, but the inconsistent performance across grade levels and the overall ranking decline warrant careful attention to how the school supports all students as they advance through the grades.
