Summary

East Fort Worth Montessori Academy is a public charter elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Fort Worth, Texas, with 184 students. The school is part of the East Fort Worth Montessori Academy District, which is ranked 728 out of 961 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite spending more per student than nearby schools, East Fort Worth Montessori Academy has consistently underperformed the state average on STAAR tests across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, only 36.84% of 3rd graders were proficient in reading compared to the state average of 52.02%, and only 26.32% were proficient in math compared to the state average of 44.88%. The school has ranked in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools for the past several years, struggling to support the academic achievement of various student subgroups, including female, male, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students.

When compared to nearby traditional public schools, such as Meadowbrook Elementary, which is part of the Fort Worth Independent School District, East Fort Worth Montessori Academy is underperforming. Additionally, the school does not appear to have a strong gifted and talented program, as it ranked in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools for this student subgroup in recent years. The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 77.71% to 85.87%, suggests that the school faces significant challenges in supporting the academic achievement of its economically disadvantaged student population.

This school is amazing. You get Montessori curriculum and philosophy, usually reserved for those who can afford private school tuition, offered by a public school. They have a great outdoor learning environment with a labyrinth, a pond, learning center, outdoor cooking area, flower gardens and a community garden where they grow food used in the dining hall. The children get to participate in raising goats, rabbits and chickens. The staff are warm and welcoming. The teachers go the extra mile. They do everything they can to make sure that my children are successful. Close Quote
