Summary:
There are five elementary schools serving grades PK through 5 in zip code 76247, which covers parts of Fort Worth, Justin, and Northlake, Texas, all part of the Northwest Independent School District (Isd).
Johnie R Daniel Elementary is the standout performer, consistently ranking in the top 15% of Texas elementary schools with a 4-star rating and the lowest free/reduced lunch rate at 8.26%. In contrast, Alan And Andra Perrin Elementary is the most challenged, ranking in the 38th percentile with a 2-star rating and test scores well below district and state averages, including a 4.4% proficiency rate in 5th Grade Science. Clara Love Elementary shows the most improvement, jumping from the 37th to the 58th percentile over two years, though it has the highest socioeconomic need at 48.61% free/reduced lunch. W R Hatfield Elementary and Justin Elementary sit in the middle for both performance and need, with around 25% free/reduced lunch rates and mid-range test scores.
A key takeaway is that socioeconomic status strongly predicts performance, with schools serving higher poverty populations like Alan And Andra Perrin and Clara Love facing greater challenges. Science is a universal weak point across all schools, with 5th Grade Science scores being the lowest subject for every school. Additionally, while most schools see a "5th grade bounce" where older students outperform younger ones, this trend is reversed at Alan And Andra Perrin, where 5th-grade math scores are lower than 3rd-grade scores. The contrast between Johnie R Daniel and Alan And Andra Perrin highlights that even within a strong district, outcomes vary dramatically based on each school's specific population and needs.
