Summary

Worth Heights Elementary is a PK-5 school in the Fort Worth Independent School District (Isd) serving 439 students in a predominantly low-income community, where nearly 89% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Worth Heights is a standout success story in the Fort Worth area, having climbed from the 27th percentile statewide a decade ago to the 70th percentile today. This makes it the highest-ranked elementary school in its immediate vicinity, far outperforming nearby schools like Clifford Davis Elementary (1st percentile), Carter Park Elementary (3rd percentile), and Edward Briscoe Elementary (3rd percentile). The school's exceptional mathematics program is a key differentiator, with 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders all scoring well above both district and state averages. For example, 5th graders achieved 67% proficiency in math compared to 47% statewide. Even more impressive, the school excels at supporting its low-income students, ranking in the 84th percentile statewide for this subgroup—a remarkable achievement that demonstrates the school's commitment to educational equity.

While Worth Heights shines in reading and math, 5th-grade science scores are a clear area for growth, with only 14% of students proficient compared to 30% statewide. The school also shows some volatility in its Spanish reading program, with 3rd graders performing exceptionally well but 4th graders scoring 0% proficient, which may be due to a very small number of test-takers. Overall, Worth Heights is a high-performing school within a low-performing district, proving that strong outcomes are possible regardless of a school's economic challenges. Its favorable student-teacher ratio of 13:1 and sustained upward trajectory make it a compelling choice for families in the area.
