Better than 9% of Texas elementary schools

Summary

Oaklawn Elementary is a PK-5 public school in the Fort Worth Independent School District (Isd) serving 395 students in a high-poverty area, where over 95% qualify for free or reduced lunch. While the school has historically ranked in the bottom 10% of Texas elementary schools, recent data shows signs of stabilization after a steep decline, with its overall state ranking recovering from the 1st percentile in 2022 to the 9th percentile in the most recent year.

Oaklawn’s most notable strength is its exceptional performance with Special Education students, who ranked in the 68th percentile in 2024-2025—a dramatic improvement from the 14th percentile the year prior. This success stands out compared to nearby schools like Clifford Davis Elementary and A M Pate Elementary, which remain stuck at the 1st and 4th percentiles overall. Additionally, Oaklawn’s 5th-grade Reading scores have consistently improved, reaching 43.18% proficiency—close to the district average—while Clifford Davis Elementary lags at just 10.59%. The school also maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 15.4:1 despite spending significantly less per student ($9,534) than higher-performing peers like Christene C Moss Elementary ($13,997).

However, challenges remain. Science scores are critically low, with only 22.73% of 5th graders proficient in 2024-2025, and the "At Risk" subgroup has seen a long-term decline from the 46th percentile in 2019 to the 9th percentile in 2022. The school’s Spanish-language track shows inconsistent results, with some grades scoring 0% proficient in recent years. A stark comparison with Christene C Moss Elementary, located less than a mile away and serving a similar demographic, highlights the gap: Moss performs at the 52nd percentile versus Oaklawn’s 9th, suggesting that leadership and instructional practices may play a key role. Oaklawn has proven it can succeed with specific groups, and the next step is scaling those practices school-wide.
