Summary

E Ray Elementary in Fort Worth, TX, serves 347 students in 1st through 5th grade and is part of the Everman Independent School District (Isd), with nearly 98% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch. Once a solid 3-star school ranking in the 58th percentile statewide before the pandemic, E Ray has experienced a dramatic and accelerating decline, dropping to the 6th percentile and a 0-star rating in the most recent data. This steep downturn is the school's most critical feature, making it the lowest-performing school in its immediate area, a stark contrast to its historical performance.

Academic proficiency at E Ray is consistently the lowest among nearby schools. For example, 4th-grade math proficiency is just 10.14%, compared to district peers like Bishop Elementary (40.68%) and Hommel Elementary (44.23%), while 4th-grade reading proficiency is 25%, roughly half that of Bishop (50%) and Hommel (45.1%). Even Sycamore Elementary, the lowest-performing nearby school from another district, ranks higher at the 13th percentile. The challenges are systemic, affecting all student subgroups, with every group ranking in the bottom 10% of the state. This is particularly striking because Bishop and Hommel serve similar demographics and have comparable funding, yet have maintained stable 2-star ratings, suggesting school-specific issues like leadership or teacher turnover at E Ray.

Despite the overall crisis, there is a glimmer of hope in 5th-grade math, where E Ray's proficiency rate of 35.94% actually exceeded the district average (32.65%) and was competitive with peers like Bishop (34.85%) and Hommel (41.07%). This success may point to an effective teacher or intervention that could serve as a model for recovery. However, science remains a universal weak point across the area, with E Ray's 5th-grade science score of 8.11% reflecting a broader regional challenge. For parents, E Ray Elementary is a school in urgent need of targeted support, but the relative strength in 5th-grade math offers a potential blueprint for improvement.

Open Quote My son is in kindergarten and I can honestly say that the teachers at E.Ray are wonderful. The make sure that the communication is frequent and they will let you know everything that is going on with your child.
