Summary:
Zip code 76112 is home to three high schools within the Fort Worth Independent School District (Isd), serving a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population where free/reduced lunch rates range from 89% to nearly 96%.
Among the traditional high schools, Dunbar High School stands out as the strongest academic performer, with the highest Algebra I proficiency (16.29%), Biology proficiency (42.99%), and graduation rate (80.6%) in the area. Eastern Hills High School, the largest school with 1,189 students, shows consistent underperformance but achieves its best results in U.S. History (52.59% proficient). Metro Opportunity is a unique outlier—a small alternative campus with only 73 students, a 5.2:1 student-teacher ratio, and per-student spending of $65,194, which is over five times that of the other schools. Its 0.0% historical graduation rate and lack of recent test scores indicate it serves students with severe academic or behavioral needs, making standard comparisons invalid.
All three schools face systemic challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom 13th percentile of Texas high schools. The most striking weakness is Algebra I, where both Eastern Hills and Dunbar score less than one-third of the state average (54.03%). U.S. History is the relative strength, coming within 15-18 percentage points of the state average. Even the "best" school, Dunbar, has a graduation rate of 80.6%, meaning nearly 1 in 5 students does not graduate on time. The data reveals that these schools' struggles are not isolated but reflect broader community and district-level issues, with no school reaching even 60% of the state average in any core subject.
