Summary

Lizzie Curtis Elementary in Fort Worth, TX, serves 783 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Northwest Independent School District (Isd), but has experienced a significant decline in state ranking over the past several years, dropping from the 75th percentile (4 stars) in 2018-2019 to the 45th percentile (2 stars) for the 2025-2026 school year.

This downward trend is especially stark when compared to nearby schools. For instance, Iltexas Keller Elementary, a charter school less than a mile away, has risen to the 80th percentile, while Bette Perot Elementary in Keller Independent School District (Isd) consistently ranks in the top 11% statewide. A critical weakness is 5th grade science, where only 12.2% of students were proficient in 2024-2025—the lowest among all comparable nearby schools and far below the state average of 29.57%. Mathematics also lags, with just 32.5% of 4th graders and 42.98% of 5th graders proficient, compared to 68.21% and 68.63% at Iltexas Keller. Additionally, support for English Language Learners (ELL) has plummeted from the 85th percentile (4 stars) in 2023-2024 to the 34th percentile (2 stars) in 2025-2026, a dramatic 51-percentile-point drop in just two years.

Interestingly, the school shows a relative strength with its Gifted and Talented (GT) students, who rank in the 52nd percentile (3 stars), suggesting resources may be concentrated on higher-achieving students. However, Special Education students have persistently struggled, ranking in the 19th percentile (1 star). Spending is not the issue, as Lizzie Curtis spends $8,690 per student, comparable to higher-performing peers like Iltexas Keller ($6,830). The school’s best recent performance was a post-pandemic bump in 2022-2023 (70th percentile), but that recovery was not sustained, indicating deeper instructional challenges that need addressing.
