Summary

J A Hargrave Elementary is a PK-5 school in the Crowley Independent School District (Isd) in Fort Worth, TX, serving 442 students in a predominantly low-income community where over 83% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

This school presents a striking contrast in performance. Its most notable strength is an exceptional bilingual program: J A Hargrave ranks in the 95th percentile statewide for effectiveness with English Language Learner (ELL) students, earning a 5-star rating. Spanish-language STAAR test scores in Reading consistently outperform both district and state averages, and are even competitive with nearby Crowley Montessori Academy, a school with a much lower poverty rate. However, this success masks a dramatic overall decline. After reaching a 3-star rating (56th percentile) in 2022-2023, the school has fallen sharply to a 1-star rating (14th percentile) for the 2025-2026 school year—a loss of 42 percentile points in just three years. This recent collapse is the most severe among nearby schools, and it is driven by struggling English-language instruction, where proficiency rates in Reading and Math are well below state averages. The school also shows a critical weakness in 5th Grade Science, with only 7.41% of students proficient on the English STAAR test.

For parents, J A Hargrave is a school of two distinct realities. Its bilingual program is a clear model of success, but its mainstream English program is in urgent need of improvement. The school's leadership must quickly diagnose the causes of the recent systemic decline while protecting the strategies that make its ELL program so effective. This volatility—from a top performer during the pandemic years to a low performer now—is a significant red flag that warrants close attention from families considering this school.
