Summary
Chisholm Ridge is a PK-5 school in Fort Worth, TX, serving 623 students within the Eagle Mt-Saginaw Independent School District (Isd), where about 60% of students are eligible for free or reduced lunch. The school has consistently received a 2-star rating from Schooldigger over the past decade, placing it in the 35th to 45th percentile statewide, which indicates performance below the state average but generally stable.
Chisholm Ridge shows notable strengths in supporting specific student groups. It excels with English Language Learners (ELL), ranking in the 66th percentile statewide (3 stars), and with Special Education students, ranking in the 68th percentile (3 stars). The school has also shown strong improvement for low socio-economic status students, jumping from a 1-star to a 3-star rating in recent years. However, there are significant weaknesses. The school performs very poorly for its Multi-racial student population, ranking in the 8th percentile (0 stars). Additionally, 5th-grade performance is a "Jekyll and Hyde" story: Reading proficiency is strong at 63.06%, outperforming the district and state, but Math proficiency is only 41.44%, well below the state average. Fourth grade is also a persistent area of weakness, with both Reading and Math falling below the district average.
Chisholm Ridge is surrounded by schools from higher-performing districts, creating a competitive landscape. For example, Sunset Valley Elementary (Keller ISD) is just 1.07 miles away and consistently earns 3-4 star ratings. The highest-performing nearby school is Iltexas Keller Elementary, a charter school ranked in the 80th percentile (4 stars), which dramatically outperforms Chisholm Ridge in nearly every subject, despite spending significantly less per student ($6,830 vs. $9,787). This highlights a major performance gap between the traditional public school and nearby options, though Chisholm Ridge's positive trend for low-SES students is a bright spot in an otherwise average profile.
