Summary

Burton Hill Elementary is a PK-5 school in Fort Worth, TX, serving 365 students as part of the Fort Worth Independent School District (Isd). This school stands out as a strong performer in its area, with a compelling story of resilience: after a period of sustained high performance, it experienced a dip and has now rebounded to a 3-star rating, ranking in the 70th percentile statewide in the most recent data. This makes it the highest-ranked school among its immediate peers, significantly outperforming nearby schools like North High Mount Elementary (60th percentile), Como Elementary (63rd percentile), and M L Phillips Elementary (31st percentile).

Burton Hill excels in several key areas that matter to parents. Its 5th Grade Reading program is a standout, with 66.67% of students proficient—well above both the district and state averages, and the highest among all nearby schools. The school also offers a favorable student-teacher ratio of 14:1, which is lower than at South High Mount Elementary (14.2:1) and significantly lower than the charter school Idea Rise Academy (21.9:1), suggesting students may receive more individualized attention. Additionally, the school demonstrates a strong commitment to inclusive education, with its Special Education students ranking in the 77th percentile statewide in the 2024-2025 school year.

While Burton Hill shows many strengths, there are areas for parents to consider. The school has a persistent weakness in 5th Grade Science, with only 15.22% of students proficient in the 2024-2025 school year—far below the state average of 29.57%. There is also a notable gender gap in performance, with Female Students ranking in the 73rd percentile and Male Students in the 64th percentile in the most recent data. Despite these challenges, the school's recent rebound and strong performance for its White students (77th percentile) and its ability to serve a mixed-income student body (with a free/reduced lunch rate of about 56%) make it a compelling choice for families seeking a high-performing school in the Fort Worth area.
