Summary:

The Fort Worth Independent School District (Isd) oversees 133 schools, including elementary, middle, and high schools, serving a diverse urban student population in Texas. The district overall ranks in the 30th percentile statewide with a 2-star rating, but performance varies dramatically from school to school.

Several magnet and choice schools stand out as exceptional performers. Young Women's Leadership Academy and Im Terrell Academy For Stem And Vpa both rank in the 94th percentile with 5-star ratings, boasting graduation rates above 98% and near-perfect test scores. Marine Creek Collegiate High School also achieves top marks with a 98.8% graduation rate. At the elementary level, Overton Park Elementary leads the district in the 99th percentile, while Tanglewood Elementary and Westpark Elementary also earn 5-star ratings with high proficiency rates. In contrast, comprehensive high schools like Polytechnic High School (7th percentile) and Success High School (31.9% graduation rate) face significant challenges. Middle schools such as Rosemont Middle and Forest Oak Middle show a unique pattern where advanced course scores are high despite lower grade-level test results.

Key metrics reveal a district where resource allocation doesn't always align with outcomes. For instance, Benbrook Middle/High School performs well with relatively low per-student spending, while Eastern Hills High School spends more but earns a 1-star rating. The district's graduation rate averages 82.6%, with a 3.1% dropout rate. Schools like World Languages Institute achieve a perfect 100% graduation rate, highlighting the potential for success even in challenging environments. Overall, families should carefully evaluate individual school performance, as the district offers both exceptional opportunities and schools requiring significant improvement.
