Summary

Mary Harris Elementary is a PK-5 school in Fort Worth, TX, serving 438 students within the Crowley Independent School District (Isd), and it faces significant challenges due to extreme economic disadvantage, with over 92% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, Mary Harris Elementary is persistently low-performing, ranking in the 7th percentile statewide—placing it among the bottom 10-15% of Texas elementary schools and making it the weakest performer in its immediate area. For context, nearby schools like Dallas Park Elementary (6th percentile) and Jackie Carden Elementary (8th percentile) also struggle, but Mary Harris has the highest poverty rate and the lowest overall scores. A particularly stark example is 5th-grade Science, where only 2.9% of students were proficient in 2024-2025—far below the district average of 15.17% and the state average of 29.57%, and the lowest among all nearby schools. Performance is also volatile; for instance, 5th-grade Math jumped from 44.12% proficiency (above the district average) in 2023-2024 to just 11.59% the following year, suggesting issues with curriculum continuity or teacher turnover.

Despite these struggles, there are notable bright spots. The school has shown strong results for English Language Learners (ELL), who ranked in the 77th percentile statewide in 2021-2022 and the 55th percentile in 2023-2024—a significant outlier compared to the school's overall performance. However, the school's Gifted and Talented (GT) program ranks in the 0th and 1st percentiles, indicating a need for better enrichment for high-achieving students. Interestingly, Mary Harris spends $11,774 per student and has a 15:1 student-teacher ratio—both better than many peers like June W Davis Elementary ($9,932 per student) and J A Hargrave Elementary (17.9:1 ratio)—yet these resources are not translating into higher academic outcomes, pointing to the profound impact of the high-poverty environment and the need for more targeted instructional strategies.
