Summary:
Weatherford, Texas, is home to 17 schools serving students from elementary through high school, spread across the Weatherford Independent School District (Isd), the higher-performing Peaster Independent School District (Isd), the smaller Garner Independent School District (Isd), and the charter Crosstimbers Academy.
For families seeking top academic performance, the Peaster ISD schools consistently outshine their Weatherford ISD counterparts. Peaster High School leads with a 99% graduation rate and strong test scores, while Peaster J H excels in advanced math. Within Weatherford ISD, Martin Elementary and Austin Elementary are standout 4-star schools with high rankings. However, challenges exist: Crockett Elementary is the lowest-ranked in its district, and Crosstimbers Academy and Rise Academy show very weak academic performance. An interesting pattern emerges at Hall Middle and Tison Middle, where advanced students excel in Algebra I while general math scores lag. Meanwhile, Garner College And Career Preparatory Academy achieves strong high school test results despite being an alternative school.
Key metrics show that spending per student does not directly predict success—Seguin Elementary spends the most but ranks mid-tier, while Martin Elementary achieves top results with less. Graduation rates are solid across the area, with Weatherford High School at 95.5% and Peaster High at 99%. However, Weatherford High's state ranking has declined slightly in recent years, a trend worth watching. Overall, the Peaster ISD offers a consistently stronger educational experience, while Weatherford ISD provides a mix of excellent elementary options and some struggling schools.
