Summary

Como Elementary is a PK-5 school in the Fort Worth Independent School District (Isd) serving 422 students in a historically significant neighborhood near the Cultural District, where over 95% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

This school has achieved a remarkable turnaround, jumping from the 35th percentile statewide in 2024 to the 63rd percentile (3 stars) in 2025—its best performance in over a decade. What truly sets Como apart is its exceptional success with high-need student groups. Hispanic students rank in the 92nd percentile (5 stars) statewide, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds rank in the 84th percentile (4 stars). These results far exceed those at nearby high-poverty schools like M L Phillips Elementary and Luella Merrett Elementary, which continue to struggle. Special education students also saw a massive improvement, jumping from the 2nd percentile to the 75th percentile in just two years. In the 2025-2026 school year, Como's proficiency rates in Reading and Math exceeded the Fort Worth ISD average in every grade level tested (3rd, 4th, and 5th)—a rare feat for a school with such high poverty levels.

A key factor in this success appears to be the school's bilingual program. Fourth graders taking the Reading test in Spanish achieved a 77.78% proficiency rate, more than double the district (32.28%) and state (37.14%) averages. This contrasts sharply with nearby high-performing schools like Tanglewood Elementary and Overton Park Elementary, which have less than 20% of students on free/reduced lunch and consistently rank in the top 5% of the state. Como's spending per student ($14,867) is higher than some struggling neighbors but lower than Tanglewood ($21,142), suggesting the turnaround is about how funds are used, not just how much is spent.
