Summary

O A Peterson is a PK-5 school in Fort Worth, TX, serving 655 students as part of the highly-rated Northwest Independent School District (Isd), with about 40% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch.

O A Peterson has experienced a notable decline in its state ranking over the past five years, dropping from the 79th percentile in 2019 to the 58th percentile in the most recent data. This downward trend sets it apart from nearby schools like Haslet Elementary (83rd percentile) and Bette Perot Elementary (89th percentile), which have maintained or improved their high rankings. The school shows inconsistent performance across grade levels, with 4th-grade reading and math scores competitive with district and state averages, but 5th-grade math proficiency (40.7%) falling significantly below both. This "5th-grade wall" pattern suggests a systemic challenge in preparing students for more advanced curriculum, particularly in math and science.

Despite these challenges, there are some positive signs. The school shows a notable strength in serving English Language Learners, ranking in the 54th percentile for this group. Additionally, the most recent year shows a slight uptick in overall rank (58th percentile) compared to the previous two years (51st and 48th), and performance with economically disadvantaged students jumped from the 21st to the 50th percentile in one year. However, the school's performance with Special Education students is a critical weakness, ranking in the 26th percentile. Interestingly, the closest school to O A Peterson is Iltexas Keller Elementary, a charter school that has achieved a higher overall ranking (80th percentile) despite being in a lower-rated district, offering families a different educational option in the immediate area.
