Summary

Overton Park Elementary in Fort Worth, TX, is a public school serving 510 students in grades PK-5 within the Fort Worth Independent School District (Isd), and it stands out as an academic powerhouse, consistently ranking among the top 1% of elementary schools in Texas over the past five years. This school has earned a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for six consecutive years, a rare achievement that places it in an elite category across the state. Its STAAR test scores are dramatically higher than both district and state averages—for example, in 2025-2026, 5th-grade Reading proficiency hit 95.45%, nearly double the state average of 58.47%—and it excels across all student groups, ranking in the 99th percentile for Female, Male, Hispanic, and White students, and the 97th percentile for Special Education students.

What truly differentiates Overton Park is its position as an academic island of high performance within a district where most nearby schools struggle. While Overton Park ranks in the top 30 schools in Texas, the next highest-performing neighbor, Tanglewood Elementary, ranks in the top 200, and schools like Bruce Shulkey Elementary (rank 3870) and South Hills Elementary (rank 3024) fall in the bottom half of the state. This creates a stark performance gap of over 3,800 places between Overton Park and its lowest-performing neighbor. The school also has an extremely low percentage of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch (about 6-7%), compared to nearby schools like Westcliff Elementary (71.16%) and Como Elementary (95.02%), which is a key factor in its performance.

Despite its overall excellence, Overton Park has a few interesting nuances. Its 5th-grade Science scores, while still above state averages, have shown volatility—dropping from 68% proficient in 2022-2023 to 31.75% in 2024-2025—contrasting with the stability in Reading and Math. Additionally, its performance with Gifted and Talented (GT) students is inconsistent, ranking in the 59th percentile in 2024-2025 after a 92nd percentile ranking the previous year, suggesting that while the school excels at bringing all students to high proficiency, it may not consistently provide the accelerated instruction its highest-achieving students need. Overall, Overton Park offers an exceptional education, particularly in Reading and Math, but families should be aware of its unique position as a high-performing outlier in a district with deep educational inequities.
