Summary

Ridglea Hills Elementary is a mid-sized school in Fort Worth, TX, serving 742 students from Pre-K through 5th grade in the Fort Worth Independent School District (Isd). It holds a 3-star rating, placing it in the 61st percentile of Texas elementary schools, and has shown a strong rebound after a recent dip in performance.

This school occupies a unique middle ground in a highly polarized area. With just over half of its students (52.7%) qualifying for free or reduced lunch, it sits between high-poverty schools like Como Elementary (95%) and Luella Merrett Elementary (92%) on one side, and very affluent schools like Overton Park Elementary (6%) and Tanglewood Elementary (19%) on the other. Despite this, Ridglea Hills consistently outperforms the district average in nearly every subject and grade level. For example, 4th-grade math proficiency was 53% compared to the district average of 43.6%. However, the school faces challenges with achievement gaps, as its performance for economically disadvantaged students is notably lower.

One of the most encouraging recent trends is the dramatic improvement in Special Education outcomes, which jumped from the 19th percentile to the 58th percentile in a single year, suggesting a new program or intervention is working. On the other hand, 5th-grade science remains a persistent weak point, with proficiency rates often lagging behind the state average. While Ridglea Hills is a solid, above-average school, it operates in the shadow of nearby academic powerhouses like Overton Park (99th percentile) and Tanglewood (97th percentile), highlighting the stark economic and academic diversity within the district.
