Summary:
In zip code 76137, there is one high school, Haltom High School, a large institution serving grades 9 through 12 with 2,757 students in the Birdville Independent School District (Isd).
Haltom High School is a school in transition, with its state ranking declining from the 50th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 38th percentile in 2025-2026. A significant majority of its students (68.88%) are eligible for free or reduced lunch, indicating a high-poverty student body. The school consistently underperforms its district average in every subject, with the largest gaps in Algebra I (48.35% proficient vs. 63.3% district) and English I Reading (44.65% vs. 56.71% district). However, there is a notable bright spot: Algebra I proficiency jumped dramatically from 33.58% to 48.35% year-over-year, suggesting recent math interventions may be working. The school also shows relative strength in Biology (64.64%) and U.S. History (64.01%), which are closer to state averages.
Despite below-average test scores, Haltom High School boasts a strong 92.8% graduation rate, slightly above the district rate of 92.4%, and a low dropout rate of 0.6%. This indicates the school is effective at keeping students on track to graduate, even as standardized test performance lags. The consistent gap between the school and the Birdville Independent School District (Isd) average—roughly 7 to 15 percentage points across all subjects—suggests the school faces unique challenges tied to its high-poverty population. For parents, this school offers a supportive environment for graduation, but with clear academic challenges, particularly in math and early high school reading.
