Summary

West Birdville Elementary in Haltom City, TX, is a PK-5 school in the Birdville Independent School District (Isd) serving 665 students, with over 86% qualifying for free or reduced lunch, and has shown a dramatic academic rebound in the 2025-2026 school year after a period of volatility.

This school stands out for its remarkable turnaround. After a steep drop to the 7th percentile statewide in 2025, West Birdville surged to the 43rd percentile in 2026, a leap that is the most volatile performance swing among nearby schools. For example, David E Smith Elementary has shown steady improvement, while Riverside Applied Learning Center (a Fort Worth ISD school just 0.78 miles away) has maintained consistent high performance. West Birdville’s rebound is especially notable given its lower per-student spending ($9,270) compared to peers like Birdville Elementary ($11,056) and Cheney Hills Elementary ($10,729).

A key strength is the school’s exceptional performance with its economically disadvantaged students, ranking in the 70th percentile for this group in 2026—far above its overall rank. Additionally, West Birdville’s Spanish-language STAAR Math scores are outstanding: 3rd graders achieved a 76.9% proficiency rate, nearly double the district average and triple the state average. This suggests a highly effective bilingual math program. However, the school’s history of peaks and valleys means this success may be fragile. The challenge will be to replicate this momentum in English-language instruction and sustain the turnaround for the long term.
