Summary

Lily B Clayton Elementary is a high-performing public school in Fort Worth, TX, serving 476 students in grades PK through 5 as part of the Fort Worth Independent School District (Isd).

This school has earned a consistent 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for nine consecutive years, placing it in the 85th percentile statewide. It stands out as an island of excellence compared to many nearby schools, such as George Clarke Elementary and Van Zandt-Guinn Elementary, which have 0-star ratings. Lily B Clayton also excels in supporting its Special Education students, ranking in the 92nd percentile statewide. However, its closest competitor, Alice Carlson Applied Learning Center, recently achieved a 5-star rating and outperformed Clayton in several key test score areas, such as 3rd and 4th grade reading.

While the school is a top performer for its White students, it faces a significant achievement gap with its economically disadvantaged students, who rank in the 20th percentile. Additionally, its 5th grade Science scores, while above district and state averages, are notably lower than its Reading and Math scores. Lily B Clayton operates with high efficiency, spending $9,902 per student—far less than lower-performing neighbors like Morningside Elementary ($13,903 per student) and Van Zandt-Guinn Elementary ($14,617 per student)—while achieving far better academic results.
