Summary
Meadowcreek Elementary in Fort Worth, TX, is a PK-5 school in the Crowley Independent School District (Isd) serving about 480 students, with nearly 90% qualifying for free or reduced lunch, and it has historically ranked in the bottom 20-30% of Texas elementary schools, currently sitting at the 11th percentile statewide.
The school’s biggest strength is its Spanish-language programs, which consistently outperform district and state averages. For example, in 5th grade Spanish Reading, 66.67% of Meadowcreek students were proficient, compared to 47.5% in the district and 34.82% statewide. Similarly, in 5th grade Spanish Science, 27.27% were proficient versus just 12.87% in the district and 6.93% statewide. This success extends to English Language Learner (ELL) students, where the school ranks in the 70th percentile statewide—a stark contrast to nearby schools like David L Walker Elt, which lacks comparable ELL data. However, English-language instruction struggles significantly, with proficiency rates often 15-20 points below state averages. A notable comparison is Idea Edgecliff Academy, a charter school 1.85 miles away, which outperforms Meadowcreek in English STAAR tests despite serving a slightly less impoverished population and having larger class sizes.
Despite these bright spots, the school faces serious challenges. Its overall state ranking has dropped from the 32nd percentile in 2022-2023 to the 11th percentile in 2025-2026, with declines across Hispanic, Low Socioeconomic Status, and Special Education subgroups. Most concerning is the Gifted and Talented program, which ranks in the 1st percentile statewide, suggesting a need for better identification and advanced curriculum. Meadowcreek spends $10,497 per student, less than nearby schools like J A Hargrave Elementary ($12,119), yet it outperforms them in Spanish and ELL support, indicating efficient resource use. However, additional funding is needed for English-language and Gifted programs to address systemic issues.
