Summary

North Riverside Elementary in Fort Worth, TX, is a PK-5 school serving 469 students within the highly-rated Keller Independent School District (Isd), and it has recently shown a remarkable academic rebound after several challenging years. After three consecutive years of 1-star ratings, the school jumped to a 3-star rating in 2025-2026, driven by a surge in 5th-grade performance where reading proficiency rose from 35.62% to 67.19% and math from 36.26% to 59.09%. This dramatic improvement places North Riverside at the top of its local peer group, which includes nearby schools like Basswood Elementary and Heritage Elementary, all of which serve higher percentages of economically disadvantaged students compared to schools further northwest like Bette Perot Elementary and Lone Star Elementary.

A standout strength is the school's bilingual program, where Spanish-speaking students consistently outperform district and state averages on the Spanish STAAR Reading exam. For example, in 2025-2026, 5th-grade Spanish Reading proficiency reached 60%, compared to 48.08% for the district and 27.5% statewide. Additionally, North Riverside excels in accelerating its highest-performing math students, achieving an 86.67% proficiency rate in 6th-grade math—far exceeding the district average of 54.05% and the state average of 38.57%. The school also ranks in the 59th percentile for supporting low-income students, showing that its support systems are effective despite overall challenges.

However, a persistent weakness is 4th-grade math, which dropped to just 13.79% proficiency in 2024-2025 before improving to 40.35% in 2025-2026. This pattern is shared with nearby schools like Basswood and Parkview Elementary, suggesting a systemic issue in the area. Interestingly, while North Riverside and Basswood serve similar populations, Basswood has a stronger Spanish-language program, offering a potential model for improvement. With per-student spending among the highest in the area at $11,944, North Riverside is well-resourced to continue its positive momentum and address these gaps.
