Summary

Helbing Elementary is a public elementary school in Fort Worth, Texas, serving 357 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Fort Worth Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 733 out of 961 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Helbing Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with significantly below-average performance on STAAR (State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness) tests across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of Helbing students proficient or better in STAAR Reading ranged from 21.43% to 51.06%, compared to 40.56% to 57.83% for the district and 52.02% to 57.83% for the state. Similarly, in STAAR Mathematics, Helbing's proficiency rates ranged from 21.74% to 29.17%, compared to 33.78% to 46.24% for the district and 44.88% to 46.24% for the state. The school also has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged and English Language Learner (ELL) students.

Interestingly, Helbing Elementary's academic performance is consistently among the lowest in the surrounding area, with nearby schools like Dolores Huerta Elementary, Sam Rosen Elementary, and Manuel Jara Elementary all outperforming Helbing on STAAR tests, despite having similar student demographics. This suggests that Helbing Elementary may be facing persistent challenges in addressing the needs of its student population and improving academic outcomes.
