Summary

Cesar Chavez Pri is an elementary school in Fort Worth, TX, serving 447 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Fort Worth Independent School District (Isd), and it has become a standout story of rapid improvement in a community where over 94% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

This school has undergone a dramatic turnaround, jumping from a 1-star rating in the 11th percentile just three years ago to a 3-star rating in the 63rd percentile for the 2025-2026 school year. This makes it the most improved school in its area, far outpacing nearby schools like Moore M H Elementary (34th percentile) and Springdale Elementary, which remain in the bottom 25th percentile. Cesar Chavez Pri excels in serving its student body, ranking in the 91st percentile for African American students and the 82nd percentile for Hispanic students, and it is particularly effective for students from low-income backgrounds, ranking in the 78th percentile for low socio-economic status students. The school also shines in its bilingual program, with students consistently outperforming district and state averages on Spanish-language STAAR exams, such as a 58.33% proficiency rate in 4th Grade Reading (Spanish) compared to the district's 32.28%.

Despite these strengths, there are areas for growth. Science remains a significant weakness, with only 1.54% of 5th graders proficient on the English STAAR, far below state averages. Additionally, the school struggles with English Language Learners, ranking in the 9th percentile, which suggests a need for different strategies for students transitioning to English. On a positive note, support for Special Education students has improved dramatically, jumping from the 8th to the 58th percentile. With a student-teacher ratio of 13:1 and spending of $11,326 per student, Cesar Chavez Pri is achieving impressive results without requiring more resources than its peers, making it a compelling choice for families seeking a school that is clearly on an upward trajectory.
