Summary

High Country Elementary is a PK-5 school in the Eagle Mt-Saginaw Independent School District (Isd) serving 511 students in a diverse, suburban area of Fort Worth, TX. Over the past decade, the school has experienced a significant downward trend in its statewide ranking, dropping from average performance to the 14th percentile in the most recent data, placing it among the lower-performing elementary schools in Texas. The school serves a population where over half of students are economically disadvantaged, and while its per-pupil spending of $10,670 is slightly above the state average, academic outcomes have struggled to keep pace.

The most concerning area is Mathematics, where only 15% of 3rd graders and 23% of 4th graders are proficient—dramatically lower than district and state averages. Science is also a persistent weakness, with just 10% of 5th graders proficient, roughly half the district average and a third of the state average. However, there is a bright spot in 5th-grade Reading, where 53% of students are proficient, outperforming the district average. The school's performance is also highly volatile from year to year, particularly in lower grades, suggesting a lack of stable, long-term instructional strategies.

Interestingly, Copper Creek Elementary, located just 1.16 miles away in the same district, ranks in the 47th percentile—33 points higher than High Country—and serves a population with a much lower rate of economically disadvantaged students. Nearby schools in the Keller Independent School District (Isd), such as Sunset Valley Elementary (65th percentile) and Basswood Elementary (52nd percentile), consistently outperform High Country, highlighting significant disparities within the same community. The school also struggles to challenge its highest-performing students, with White and Gifted & Talented students ranking in the 4th and 5th percentiles statewide, respectively, while other subgroups perform relatively better.

High Country has given all 3 of my children an EXCELLENT education. Their main focus is an equal EDUCATION and preparing our children for the real world. I have been to many schools and by far this is the best in my opinion. At HC there is a school wide focus on respect for each other and to always give the VERY best! The teachers love children and are their number one priority!!! Close Quote
