Weatherford

Weatherford has five schools serving prekindergarten through grade 12: two elementary schools, two middle schools and one high school. Across the schools with 2025–2026 results, math is the clearest area-wide strength: all four are above the state, by 4 to 25 percentage points.

Stafford Elementary and East Intermediate stand out in math, each at 50% proficiency—25 points above the state’s 25%. East also leads reported science results at 45%, 15 points above state. Weatherford High School leads all-grades ELA at 45%, 19 points above state, while Weatherford Middle School is lowest at 22%, 4 points below state; the middle school’s science is much stronger at 44%, just 1 point below East. High school U.S. History is 55%, 14 points above state. Burcham Elementary has no test results in the supplied data, and all-grades results cover different grade spans.

Results shifted unevenly between 2024–2025 and 2025–2026: the reporting schools’ average science proficiency rose 8 points, math rose 1 point, and ELA fell 2 points. Exceptions matter: East’s math improved 11 points to 50%, while Stafford’s fell 8 points but remained at 50%; high school ELA fell 9 points to 45%. SchoolDigger ranks the high school 43rd of 462 schools (91st percentile), Stafford 103rd of 626 (84th percentile), and the middle school 92nd of 378 (76th percentile). As context, 2024–2025 free/reduced-lunch-eligible rates were 55% at Stafford, 53% at East, 48% at the middle school and 41% at the high school; these figures describe student context, not a cause of results. Student–teacher ratios ranged from 15.1 at the middle school to 17.4 at Stafford, while 2025–2026 chronic absenteeism ranged from 11% at Stafford to 20% at the middle school.
