Summary:
The 7 schools in zip code 76135, serving Pre-K through 12th grade across parts of Lake Worth and Fort Worth, Texas, present a starkly divided educational landscape where Eagle Heights Elementary (Azle ISD) stands as the clear standout, while most other schools struggle significantly below state averages.
Eagle Heights Elementary is the top performer, earning a 4-star rating and ranking in the 70th percentile statewide. Its 4th-grade math proficiency (64.56%) far exceeds the state average (49.28%), and its Spanish-language STAAR scores are exceptional—3rd-grade reading proficiency (68.42%) is more than double the state average (28.3%). In contrast, Marine Creek Leadership Academy and N A Howry Steam Academy (both in Lake Worth ISD) are the most challenged, with 0-star ratings and 3rd-grade math proficiency rates of just 6.49% and 5th-grade science at 5.26% and 6.25%, respectively. Greenfield Elementary (Eagle Mt-Saginaw ISD) performs moderately better but still below state averages. Lake Worth High School has an 85.4% graduation rate, while Clearfork Academy (University of Texas University Charter School) serves a small, at-risk population with very low test scores.
A critical finding is that higher spending does not guarantee better results: Lake Worth ISD schools spend over $13,400 per student yet have the lowest scores, while Eagle Heights spends $11,054 per student and achieves far better outcomes. The average free/reduced lunch rate across the area is 79.1%, highlighting widespread economic challenges. The most urgent need is for targeted intervention in Lake Worth ISD elementary schools, where foundational skills in reading and math are critically low.
