Summary

Sonny & Allegra Nance Elementary is a PK-5 school in Fort Worth, TX, serving 533 students within the Northwest Independent School District (Isd), a district that overall earns a strong 4-star rating. However, Nance Elementary has experienced a steep and concerning decline over the past five years, dropping from a 4-star school (78th percentile) in 2020-2021 to a 2-star school (33rd percentile) for the 2025-2026 school year. This rapid downturn is the most critical story for this school, as it has fallen behind all of its same-district neighbors, including O A Peterson, Carl E Schluter Elementary, and Lizzie Curtis Elementary, and now ranks lower than the high-performing charter school, Iltexas Keller Elementary.

The decline is most pronounced in math proficiency, where Nance significantly trails its top-performing peer, Carl E Schluter Elementary, located just 1.68 miles away. For example, in 4th Grade Math, Nance scored 38.1% proficient compared to Schluter’s 60.32%, and in 3rd Grade Math, Nance scored 29.21% versus Schluter’s 50%. This gap is a major driver of the school’s lower overall rank. Interestingly, Nance spends more per student ($9,399) than Schluter ($8,645), suggesting the issue is not a lack of funding but likely how resources are being used. A bright spot is 5th Grade Science, where Nance has consistently performed above district and state averages, offering a foundation to build upon.

Just two years ago, in the 2023-2024 school year, Nance was a 3-star school with strong subgroup performance and the highest 5th-grade Reading and Math scores in its immediate comparison group. The rapid change warrants a deep investigation into changes in curriculum, staffing, or student demographics. The success of nearby Carl E Schluter Elementary, which has a lower free/reduced lunch rate (18.35% vs. Nance’s 35.08%) and a higher student-teacher ratio (15.1 vs. 12.4), yet consistently outperforms Nance, provides a clear model for recovery. For families seeking strong academic outcomes, particularly in math, the rising 4-star charter school Iltexas Keller Elementary presents a competitive alternative.
