Summary

Castleberry Elementary in Fort Worth, TX, is a PK-5 school in the Castleberry Independent School District (Isd) serving 754 students in a predominantly low-income community, where over 90% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. This school has shown a remarkable upward trend in recent years, climbing from a low statewide ranking in 2021-2022 to a solid middle-of-the-pack position by 2025-2026, a notable achievement given its high-poverty context and lower spending per student ($9,503) compared to most nearby schools.

Castleberry stands out for its exceptional performance in 5th Grade Science, consistently outperforming both the state average and nearby schools like W J Turner Elementary and Sam Rosen Elementary, where science proficiency rates are drastically lower. The school's Spanish-language reading program is another standout success, with proficiency rates far exceeding state averages in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades, indicating a highly effective bilingual program. Additionally, Castleberry is particularly effective with its low socioeconomic status students, ranking in the 55th percentile for this subgroup in 2025-2026, which is significantly better than many schools with similar demographics across the state.

Compared to its closest district rival, A V Cato Elementary, Castleberry has slightly lower reading and math scores but far superior science and Spanish-language reading results, suggesting different instructional priorities. The school also achieves these results with less funding than almost every nearby school, including Burton Hill Elementary and Dolores Huerta Elementary, pointing to strong operational efficiency. A stark contrast is Marilyn Miller Language Academy, which despite a similar poverty rate, ranks in the 2nd percentile, powerfully illustrating that high poverty does not predetermine low performance and highlighting Castleberry's significant achievement.
