CHILDREN AT RISK is a nonprofit organization that drives change for children

through research, education and influencing public policy. Texas School Guide: A Par-

ent’s Roadmap to Success in Fort Worth ISD Area Public Schools has been developed

independently, and is not endorsed by the Fort Worth Independent School District

(Fort Worth ISD).

The school level information that appears in this guide has been gathered from the

Texas Education Agency, the Fort Worth ISD website, or individual schools. The infor-

mation in this guide is subject to change at any time and it is important that parents,

community members, educators, and all others contact their schools directly to ob-

tain the most current and accurate information.

See page 120 for a more detailed description of our methodology.

CHILDREN AT RISK is pleased to share the Texas School Guide: A Parent’s Roadmap

to Success in Fort Worth ISD Area Public Schools with you. We hope that this

resource will serve as an important tool as you and your child navigate the public

school system. Because education is one of the most important influences in setting

your child on the right path for future success, it is important to find the school that

is the best fit for your child. That may look different for different students, and can

include certain athletic programs, course offerings, learning styles or a variety of

other factors.

At CHILDREN AT RISK, we know that there are many quality options for public

education available from neighborhood schools, charter schools, and schools with

magnet programs. We also know that it can be difficult to understand the true quality

of your student’s school, and what you can do to ensure your child receives the best

education possible.

We hope that the Texas School Guide: A Parent’s Roadmap to Success in Fort Worth

ISD Area Public Schools will provide you with the information you need to make

the best school decision for your child. We look forward to providing this resource

annually and welcome your feedback to help us make this resource as helpful to

parents as possible.

Sincerely,

Message to Parents

Parents today are faced with a myriad of choices in public education, including

traditional public schools, magnet schools and programs, and charter schools. Each

option comes with its own system to navigate, and some also involve a complex ap-

plication process. CHILDREN AT RISK has developed Texas School Guide: A Parent’s

Roadmap to Success in Fort Worth ISD Area Public Schools to serve as a one-stop-

shop for parents as they navigate these systems.

Texas School Guide: A Parent’s Roadmap to Success in Fort Worth ISD Area Public

Schools has three main goals. We hope to empower parents to:

1. Understand How Local Schools are Performing

2. Become Aware of their School Options

3. Become Advocates for High Quality Public Schools

The Parent Action Guides contain helpful information and tips on early childhood

education, higher education, school choice, and parent advocacy to help parents

navigate the decision-making process. The school profiles included in this guide pro-

vide detailed demographic, performance and school asset data, when available, on

the public schools in the Fort Worth ISD area, as well as information on independent

charter schools that fall within the district zip codes. In the school profile section you

will see a letter grade associated with each school that will read:

A+, A, A-, B+, B, B- C+, C, C-, D, F or Not Available (NA)

You will also see school rankings that indicate

how well the school is performing in com-

parison to other schools in the state. Each

school’s profile will include their ranking out

of the total number of schools ranked for that

grade level in Texas.

State Ranking: Individual School Ranking /

Total Schools Ranked for that Grade Level

across the State

If you find that your school is not ranked or

graded highly, we encourage you to visit the

Parent Action Guides to understand your op-

tions and what steps you might take. In some

cases, you may find a charter school that bet-

ter meets your needs, or you might find that

you are eligible for a within-district transfer.

You might also decide that changing schools

is not the best option for you and your child.

Introduction: How to Use This Guide


You can view all of this information online at

TexasSchoolGuide.org and search for schools

based on various characteristics: school type,

grade level, school assets or programs, and dis-

tance. It is important to remember that many

factors contribute to making a school a good fit

for your child. Only you can decide what is most

important when making that decision. Regardless

of your choice, we hope that Texas School Guide:

A Parent’s Roadmap to Success in Fort Worth ISD

Area Public Schools can provide the resources and

data you need along your journey!


PARENT ACTION GUIDES

What Are My School Choice Options?


What Are My School Choice Options?What is School Choice?School choice is choosing a school for your child based on the qualities of the school

and your child’s needs, rather than on your home address. While school choice op-

tions vary from district to district, parents do have alternatives to the traditional

neighborhood school the district assigns your child to attend. When considering other

public school options for children, parents may consider charter schools as well as

magnet schools and programs. No type of school is inherently superior, and to deter-

mine which school is right for your child, you must research the individual schools.

CHILDREN AT RISK gives a letter grade of A,

B, C, D, or F to schools throughout the state of

Texas, with schools with an A letter grade be-

ing the highest performing. CHILDREN AT RISK

considers D and F schools to be of lower qual-

ity and underperforming in some areas. For the

purpose of Texas School Guide: A Parent’s Road-

map to Success in Fort Worth ISD Area Public

Schools, the schools’ letter grades have been

further differentiated with pluses or minuses

to give parents a more in depth look at school

quality. Schools with a letter grade of A, B, and C

range are considered acceptable options for stu-

dent success. If your child is attending a traditional neighborhood school that is lower

performing, you may want to consider what other options you have. Options include

transferring your child to a different school within the district, applying to a magnet

program, opting for a charter school, or improving the quality of your child’s current

school from within.

These options are described in greater detail in this section:

• Visiting a School: Questions to Ask and Things to Look For

• Understanding Your Options: What are Neighborhood Schools, Charter Schools,

Magnet Schools / Programs (Programs and Schools of Choice), and Private

Schools?

• Transfer Options within Fort Worth ISD

• Charter School Options and the Application Process

• Programs and Schools of Choice Options and the Application Process

Visiting a SchoolIf you choose to send your child to another school, you should visit the individual cam-

puses and consider what matters most to you and your family. Here is a list of ques-

tions to ask, as well as important things to look for when visiting a school:

Questions to Ask When Visiting a School• What is the school’s mission? The mission statement is usually a summary state-

ment of the school’s values and purpose.

Parents do have alternatives to the traditional neighborhood

school the district assigns your child

to attend


• What is the school’s approach to safety and

discipline?

• How does the school monitor student prog-

ress?

• What strategies do teachers use to teach

students with limited English proficiency?

• How do students get to school? Is bus trans-

portation available?

• Are free or reduced-price meals offered?

• What extracurricular opportunities are avail-

able for students?

• How do fine arts fit into the curriculum?

• What rules and systems are most important in classrooms?

• Are there opportunities for parents to get involved?

• What systems are in place for students that are struggling?

• What is the typical class size? What is the maximum class size?

• If a child is excelling academically, are there advanced courses or enrichment pro-

grams?

• How is technology used to support teaching and learning?

• What are the school’s greatest accomplishments?

• What are the school’s greatest challenges?

• How do teachers communicate with parents?

• Are parent-teacher conferences scheduled regularly throughout the year?

• What is the student attrition rate? The student attrition rate represents the num-

bers of students dropping out.

• What is the teacher attrition rate? The teacher attrition rate represents the number

of teachers leaving the school.

Things to Look For When Visiting a School• Do teachers interact with their students in a positive manner?

• Do classrooms look cheerful?

• Are the students well-behaved as they transition in the hallways and play outside?

• Do the school’s administrators interact positively with students, teachers, and par-

ents?

• Are the classrooms, hallways, restrooms, and outside areas of the school clean and

well maintained?

• Are students adequately supervised by school personnel?

• Do students engage with each other in a positive way?

• Are the teachers keeping students engaged and thinking critically?

Understanding Your Options

What Are Neighborhood Schools?A neighborhood school is the school that a child is assigned to based on their home

address, and according to the district’s boundaries and attendance zones. These

boundaries change frequently, so you should call your school to confirm which neigh-

borhood school your child has been assigned to before enrolling.


What Are Charter Schools?Charter schools are public schools that operate independently of local school districts.

They are tuition-free and publicly funded by local, state, and federal dollars. In addition,

charter schools also receive private donations. Charter schools are open to any student

within a specified region that wishes to apply. Because applications exceed the space

available at charter schools, many charter schools use a lottery system to determine

enrollment. Although charter schools are subject to the same rules and regulations as

traditional public schools, they generally enjoy greater flexibility. For example, some

charter schools have a longer school day and school year than traditional schools.

What Are Magnet Schools / Programs (Programs and Schools of Choice)?Magnet schools are public schools that are either run by a school district or a group of

school districts. These schools are named magnet schools because they tend to draw

students from different attendance zone boundaries. In Fort Worth ISD these schools

and programs are called Programs and Schools of Choice. The curriculum of a program

or school of choice school is aligned to a particular focus area, such as Science Tech-

nology Engineering Mathematics (STEM), performing arts, leadership, or certain career

paths. These programs require an application, and some are selective while others use

a lottery system. Because these programs and schools are specialized, they are able

to offer a more intensive education in their focus area than traditional public schools.

Some choice programs are housed within traditional public schools, while others are

housed on their own campus. In some cases, several programs are housed together on

one campus.

What Are Private Schools?Private schools are schools that are not supported by the government. Private schools

receive their funding from individuals or a private organization and usually require

students to pay tuition. The application process is similar to the college application

process for a student and includes applications, admission tests, interviews, financial

aid applications, etc. Private schools can have a religious affiliation or be independent.

Although this guide does not profile private schools, they are one of the available op-

tions for parents in the Fort Worth area.

Transfer Options within Fort Worth ISD

Although a student’s neighborhood school is determined by their home address, in

Fort Worth ISD students can apply for transfer requests to other schools that better

match their needs or interests if they meet the requirements listed below. All transfer

requests are subject to availability and application deadlines. You should contact the

District directly to learn about the most current deadlines.

It is also important to note that the transfer options listed in this section do not refer

to the program and schools of choice options, which are listed in the next section. The

three main ways to transfer from one school to another school in Fort Worth ISD are:

WHAT ARE MY SCHOOL CHOICE OPTIONS? cont.


1. Elementary Student Transfers: Initiated because of student/family needs

2. Secondary Student Transfers: Initiated because of student/family needs

3. Public Education Grant (PEG) School Transfers: Initiated because of the school’s

performance

Elementary and Secondary Student TransfersThe transfer process in Fort Worth ISD differs depending on whether the student is in

elementary or secondary school (middle and high school). All transfers are subject to

approval and space availability. Elementary school transfers are handled by the indi-

vidual school principals, but secondary school transfers are coordinated by the Central

Office Staff. For current information regarding transfer policies, contact:

Elementary School Leadership: (817) 814-2310

Secondary School Leadership: (817) 814-2340

Students who transfer from one school to another school do not become part of the

new school’s feeder pattern. This will impact students when they are transitioning from

elementary to middle school or middle school to high school because students will

return to their attendance zone feeder school (neighborhood school) after 5th or 8th

grade. At the time of this publication, the typical transfer window for elementary and

secondary school transfers is the first three weeks of March.

ELEMENTARY STUDENT TRANSFER (Elementary Schools)

Reasons for Transfer Process

• To go from a majority school to minority school

(example: a student representing the majority

race/ethnicity at a school can apply to transfer

to a school where he or she would be in the

minority)

• To solve transportation difficulties

• To solve parent or student employment conflicts

• To accommodate availability of before and/or

after school childcare

• To attend a school with a program not offered in

the home school

• Contact the new school to file the transfer

request and determine space availability

• The new school’s principal either accepts or

denies the transfer request and signs the transfer

form if accepted

• Complete paperwork and have the transfer

form signed by the neighborhood school for

withdrawal and re-enrollment

SECONDARY STUDENT TRANSFER (Middle Schools and High Schools)

Reasons for Transfer Process

• To go from a majority school to minority school

(example: a student representing the majority

race/ethnicity at a school can apply to transfer

to a school where he or she would be in the

minority)

• To solve transportation difficulties

• To solve employment conflicts

• To attend a school with a program not offered in

the home school

• Principals in neighborhood school and new

school must approve transfer request

• The Central Office evaluates the transfer request

based on a variety of characteristics, including

academic performance and discipline history

PEG TransfersParents should also be advised that students are eligible to transfer if they are attend-

ing a Public Education Grant (PEG) designated school. PEG schools are low-perform-

ing schools where 50% or more of the students did not pass any of the TAKS/STAAR

subjects in any two of the preceding three years, or schools that were recently rated

Academically Unacceptable by the Texas Education Agency. Every year, the state pro-

vides a list of PEG-designated schools to districts, and districts must notify the parents

of a student assigned to a PEG-designated school of the school’s PEG status by Febru-

ary 1st. To locate a list of PEG designated schools, and to learn more about this pro-

gram, visit the Texas Education Agency’s website at ritter.tea.state.tx.us/perfreport/

peg_faq.html.

Charter School Options and the Application Process

Any student residing in Fort Worth ISD is eligible to apply to the charter schools listed

below, though this list is not exhaustive. Some charter schools also allow students out-

side of the district to apply, but priority may be given to those residing within the dis-

trict. Most charter schools operate on a lottery system. This means that the school uses

a random selection process to pick its students. If your child is on a charter school’s

waiting list, it may help to follow up with the school to let the school know that you are

interested in getting off the waiting list if space becomes available.

Programs and Schools of Choice and the Application Process

Fort Worth ISD offers various programs of choice for students who are interested in

career-oriented or specialized curriculum, in addition to traditional academic subjects.

The three main categories of choice include:

1. Programs of Choice

2. Schools of Choice

3. Gold Seal Programs of Choice

Programs of Choice are offered at various middle

and elementary schools and engage students in

a wide array of learning experiences, including in-

tensive focus on certain subjects, such as science,

math, art, foreign language and communication.

Fort Worth ISD Schools of Choice primarily

serve students in a nontraditional setting. These

schools are stand-alone facilities that can span

elementary, middle, and high school grade levels.

Gold Seal Programs of Choice are available at

every Fort Worth ISD high school and prepare

high school students for work after graduation,

as well as specialized coursework. The programs

include, but are not limited to, licensures and

certifications, dual college credit, internship opportunities and real world application

experiences.

Application requirements vary by school, but many require only the choice application.

You can submit a paper application or apply online during the application period at

www.fwisd.org/pages/FWISD/Departments_Programs/Departments__A-K_/Choices/

Application___Selection.

Any student who is interested in a Program of Choice or School of Choice must submit

an application, even if the program or school is at the home school campus. Students

may apply to up to three programs, ranked on the application in order of preference.

Transportation is provided to Fort Worth ISD students if they choose a program or

school that is not available at their neighborhood school. Admission is based on a

computer-generated random selection process.


Students will be given the following priority order during the selection process:

1. Students living in the school’s attendance zone

2. Siblings of resident students who are currently enrolled in the school’s

Program of Choice

3. Children of resident District employees

4. Students living in the District but outside of the attendance zone

5. Children of non-resident District employees

6. Students living outside of the District

How Can I Get Involved at MyChild’s School?


How Can I Get Involved at My Child’s School?

Parent involvement is a leading factor in student success and outcomes. Students

with involved parents are more likely than their peers with uninvolved parents to earn

better grades, attend school regularly, have positive attitudes about school, and be

better behaved. As a result, parents can help their children succeed by becoming an

education advocate. Taking the time to be involved in your child’s education not only

allows you to ensure your child is receiving the quality education he or she deserves,

but also shows your student how important their academic success is to your family.

Advocating for your child’s education means making sure that your child is getting

the very best education possible.

In this section you can learn how to:

• Build relationships with people at your child’s school.

• Join parent organizations on campus.

• Find your School Board Representative.

• Access services provided by community organizations.

Building RelationshipsThe first step to becoming an advocate for

your child’s education is to form relationships

with teachers, counselors, coaches, and ad-

ministrators at your child’s school. Forming

these relationships early in your child’s time at

school will make you feel comfortable going

to these people when problems or questions

come up.

If you have felt frustrated and do not under-

stand the school process, or just have not had

the opportunity to form these relationships,

here are some great ways to get started:

• Attend school events, such as open houses, performances or award ceremonies.

• Join district groups, such as the School Health Advisory Council that focuses on

health and nutrition policies within the district.

• Join parent groups or organizations at your child’s school.

• Get involved in after school programs that your child is involved in.

• Volunteer with the school or in your child’s classroom.

• Vote in the School Board of Trustees election.

• Request a conference with your child’s teacher, counselor, or school administra-

tor. If you work during the school day, you can request a conference at a time that

works for you.

The first step to becoming an

advocate for your child’s education

is to form relationships


Outside of attending events and direct contact with the school, you can advocate for

your child by communicating the importance of education. You can do this by:

• Making sure your child attends school regularly.

• Making sure your child does their homework.

• Making sure your child gets to school on time.

• Regularly checking your child’s progress through Parent Portal at

https://parentportal.fwisd.org to identify any problems early. On Parent Portal you

have access to many school related indicators, including your student’s grades,

homework assignments, and teacher contact information.

Parent Groups and OrganizationsParent Teacher Associations (PTA’s), Par-

ent Teacher Student Associations (PTSA’s),

and Parent Teacher Organizations (PTO’s)

engage and empower parents to become

advocates for their children. Although these

organizations have similar missions, the PTA

is connected to a local, state, or national

association, while the PTO is specific to an

individual school campus.

Many parent organizations keep parents

involved and informed about what is going

on at school. This might include organiz-

ing a school fundraiser, working with teachers or providing parent trainings on how to

get involved at school. If you are interested in getting involved in these organizations,

contact your school’s office about how to join. If your school does not currently have

a PTA, PTSA or a PTO, you can start one.

Organizing a Parent Teacher Association:

Any school official, parent or interested person can organize a PTA. First, gain the

support of your school principal or superintendent, and multiple teachers. For

more information about organizing a new local PTA, contact the Director of Mem-

ber Services, Mary Jo Burgess, [email protected] or 1-800-TALK-PTA or visit

their website at www.txpta.org.

Organizing a Parent Teacher Organization:

To start a PTO, organize a group of interested people, agree on a common goal,

and start working together to make it happen. Examples include running an ice

cream social for parents, students and teachers to get to know one another, or a

school fundraiser to raise money. Because every PTO is an independent organiza-

tion, bylaws vary by organization. Learn more about organizing a PTO at

www.ptotoday.com.

Note that some PTA’s and PTO’s have small membership fees.

HOW CAN I GET INVOLVED AT MY CHILD’S SCHOOL? cont.


Early ChildhoodEducation(Ages 0-5)


Early Childhood Education(Ages 0-5)

Deciding on a childcare or preschool program for your child can be a daunting and

stressful task. There are many issues to consider including quality, location, cost, and

hours of operation. Fortunately, many of these issues can be resolved with a quick

phone call or visit to the program’s website. Unfortunately, quality, the main concern

for parents, requires more effort.

Why is Early Childhood Education Important?The first five years of a child’s life are the most

important in brain development. During this

time, children acquire knowledge at a more

rapid rate than at any other period in their life.

Children who attend high quality early educa-

tion programs are more likely to: be ready for

kindergarten, score better on standardized

tests, go to college, and have higher paying

jobs as adults. A supportive and engaging early

childhood education program is important be-

cause it starts infants and toddlers on the path

to success.

What Should You Look For in a Childcare or Preschool Program?Early childhood education programs such as prekindergarten and academically fo-

cused childcare set children up to be successful students before they ever step into a

kindergarten classroom. These programs should provide children with developmen-

tally appropriate instruction in vocabulary, early literacy, phonemic awareness, math,

and many other areas that students often struggle with during their elementary

years. In addition, these programs should also help children to become more com-

fortable with routine and structure.

Licensed childcare facilities are monitored and regulated by the Texas Department

of Family and Protective Services. The state routinely inspects these facilities and

enforces basic health and safety standards. Records of the state’s inspections are

publicly available at www.dontbeinthedark.org. In addition, the National Associa-

tion for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) accredits and certifies centers.

The NAEYC standards are much higher than the state’s minimum standards. A list of

centers accredited by NAEYC is available at www.naeyc.org/academy/accreditation/

search.

After checking the program’s accreditation status and the state’s records for viola-

tions and compliance, you should visit the center to gain a better sense of both the

physical and emotional environment.


Visiting the CenterDuring your visit, plan to spend 20-30 minutes

talking to staff and observing their morning

or afternoon routines (circle time, book reads,

and center time are the best times to observe).

If possible, avoid visiting during meal and nap

times as you will be less likely to see the qual-

ity of learning activities between the staff and

children.

Things to pay attention to include:

Physical Environment:

Classrooms and areas for children should be

open and visible from any other point within

the classroom. This ensures that the teachers can always see your child and make

sure that your child is not at risk for injury or participating in unsafe activities. Age

appropriate materials such as alphabet posters, letter walls, calendars, and weather

and reading charts should be at your child’s eye level (not near the ceiling or at an

adult’s eye level). For classrooms serving children three years and older, look for

evidence of: writing (both children’s and teacher’s), sorting, counting, as well as

number, letter and word recognition. These are all good signs that the program is

working on academic enrichment activities.

Emotional Environment:

Students should feel safe to share their thoughts and feelings in the classroom.

The classroom should not be a place for unkind words, bullying, or verbal abuse,

as these are detrimental to the child’s well-being and social development. Ask staff

specifically about their discipline policies. Also watch how staff members relate to

one another and to the children both in and out of the classroom.

Teacher Qualifications Ask teachers and staff about their qualifications. You are trusting your child to their

program and have the right to make sure they are qualified and capable professionals.

Early childhood teachers should have formal training in the field of early childhood

education so that they may adequately provide the instruction and care that your child

deserves. The state of Texas requires a high school diploma or GED, 24 hours of pre-

service training, and 24 hours of annual continuing education for early childcare pro-

fessionals. Suggested teacher trainings include classes on curriculum, safety practices,

first aid, and emergency preparedness. Below are the most common qualifications for

early childhood instructors.

• Early Childhood Associates Degree / Child Development Associates Degree from

an accredited program: teachers holding this degree have spent two years acquir-

ing knowledge on how to provide the appropriate environment and curriculum to

children in their classroom.

During your visit, plan to spend 20-30 minutes talking to staff and observing

their morning or afternoon routines


• Bachelor’s Degree in Education (or another field) with a teaching certificate

from the state specifying an Early Childhood qualification: teachers holding this

degree and certification have rigorous training in classroom management, curricu-

lum, and at least one semester of practicum in a classroom under the observation

of a mentor teacher.

Other Things to Consider and Ask About:• Waiting lists: Many early childhood programs have waiting lists and a registration

process, including a non-refundable deposit.

• Food menus: Some programs ask parents to provide the food for their child, while

others offer meals and snacks. For those that serve food, menus should be avail-

able to give you an example of the types of foods being served. If parents are

expected to provide meals and snacks, ask how the food is stored throughout the

day (refrigerator or at room temperature) so you know what you should pack.

• Time spent on the playground: Children should spend 30-45 minutes on the play-

ground in the morning and afternoon (weather permitting).

• Screen time (TV and Computers): It is recommended that screen time be limited

to no more than one to two hours per day for children over two years of age.

• Childcare assistance: Families meeting specific requirements (financial and other

factors) are eligible for childcare assistance. Check with your local workforce

solutions office to see if you qualify for childcare assistance. To locate your local

workforce solutions office, go to www.twc.state.tx.us/dirs/wdas/directory-offices-

services.html.

Preparing for Post-SecondaryEducation(High School Students)


Preparing for Post-Secondary Education(High School Students)

There are many options for higher education

in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, including

four-year colleges, two-year colleges, and trade

schools. An advanced degree or certification

can create employment opportunities that

may not be available to those with only a high

school diploma. It is important to set expecta-

tions for post-secondary education, or contin-

ued education after high school, early so that

children are encouraged to set goals that help

them obtain those degrees. In this section you

will learn more about:

• Post-Secondary Education Opportunities in

the Area

• The Application Process

• Financial Aid Resources

• How Students Can Stay on Track with a High School Timeline

Post-Secondary Education Opportunities in the AreaIt is helpful to be knowledgeable about the different opportunities for post-secondary

education early in your child’s high school career. This way you can make sure that

you do not miss important application deadlines, required high school courses for

particular programs, or other steps that must be taken prior to admittance into a

higher education program.

If your child intends to pursue higher education, you may want to consider the rigor

of the high school they attend. High schools that provide good preparation for college

should offer an academically challenging curriculum, a college-bound culture, and a

support system for navigating college admissions. Indicators of these characteristics

can include:

• Wide offering of advanced courses like Advanced Placement (AP), International

Baccalaureate (IB), and/or Honors courses

• High rate of students taking the SAT or ACT exams

• Available and knowledgeable guidance counselors

ApplicationsMost post-secondary tracks require

some kind of application. Community

colleges have an open-door admissions

policy, which means that students are

admitted regardless of previous aca-

demic history. However, parents and stu-

dents should be advised that students

in Texas entering a public college insti-

tution, including community colleges,

must meet the minimum threshold on

the Texas Success Initiative (TSI) Assess-

ment unless they are otherwise exempt. If students do not meet this threshold, they

may be referred to Adult Basic Education classes, which are non-credit and fee-based,

before they are eligible to enroll in college coursework. You can learn more about this

requirement at http://www.thecb.state.tx.us/.

The Common App and Apply Texas are two widely used application processes for

four-year colleges and universities. The Common App is used by hundreds of colleges

throughout the United States, and Apply Texas allows students to apply for admis-

sion to any Texas public university, as well as to participating community and private

colleges. To learn more about which schools accept these applications, application

deadlines, and additional information visit the individual sites:

• Common App: www.commonapp.org

• Apply Texas: www.applytexas.org

It is necessary to visit individual websites, or contact the schools directly, to verify the

most current application procedures because admissions requirements can vary from

school to school.

Financial AidThe costs associated with higher education can be daunting for parents, families and

students. However, being aware of financial aid opportunities that are at your disposal

can help ease your concerns. Each university or college has their own financial aid

program, which may include grant and scholarship opportunities, and there are also

opportunities to obtain financial aid through the state and federal government, non-

profit and private organizations.

You should submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), as it is will

make your student eligible for the largest source of financial aid available. The applica-

tion becomes available in early January, but deadlines differ by program. You will want

to submit the FAFSA as early as possible to make sure that you can take advantage of

as many aid opportunities as possible.

There are several ways to file the FAFSA:

• Online at www.fafsa.gov.

• You can download or order a paper FAFSA.

• Ask the financial aid office at your student’s college or career school if it can be

filed there.

Here is a brief look at financial aid opportunities and when you should fill out the

FASFA from the Federal Student Aid website:

High School TimelineIt is important to plan ahead for higher education while your child is still in high

school. In order to apply to a four-year university or college, your child will need to

take the SAT and/or ACT exam, typically during their junior year of high school. You

also should be aware of the admissions requirements of the program(s) your child

may wish to attend, so that they will be sure to fulfill all prerequisites during high

PREPARING FOR POST-SECONDARY EDUCATION cont.

AID PROGRAM DEADLINE INFORMATION

Federal and State student aid For the 2013–14 year, you can apply between Jan. 1, 2013, and June 30, 2014. However, there are a few first come, first served federal stu-dent aid programs, so be sure to apply as soon as you can. You can

also find state deadlines at www.fafsa.gov.

College or career school aid Check the school’s website or contact its financial aid office. School deadlines are usually early in the year (often in February or March). Furthermore, many schools will offer work-study programs, which place students into part-time jobs or paid internships as a form of

financial assistance.

Other financial aid Some programs, other than government or school aid, require that you file the FAFSA. For instance, you cannot get certain private

scholarships unless you are eligible for a Federal Pell Grant–and you cannot find out whether you are eligible for a Pell Grant unless you file a FAFSA. If the private scholarship’s application deadline is in

early to mid–January, you will need to submit your FAFSA before that deadline.

school. For example, some universities may re-

quire more science or math course credits than

your child’s high school requires as the mini-

mum. Your child may also need to take elective

courses to be adequately prepared for college.

Here is an example of a timeline that can help

students stay on track to obtaining an ad-

vanced degree or certification:

Freshman and Sophomore Years• Talk with your assigned guidance counselor about taking college preparatory

courses and exploring higher education options.

• Start getting involved in extra-curricular activities and keep a record of involve-

ment.

• Register and take the Preliminary SAT (PSAT).

• Schedule a college tour of an area college to get a feel for what college might be

like. These tours are free and you can call the admissions office to schedule a tour

at a time that works well for you.

Junior Year• Work with your guidance counselor to establish a list of the higher education op-

tions that you are interested in. It may be helpful to consider how long it usually

takes students to graduate from that school. You can find more information on

college completion rates by campus at completecollege.org.

• Begin researching scholarship and financial aid opportunities.

• Register and take the SAT and/or ACT exams.

• If possible, visit the individual campuses that you will be applying to.

Senior Year• August – September

» Narrow down school options and create a list of application deadlines and

required materials, including scholarship and financial aid deadlines, essays,

letters of recommendation and transcripts.

» Register or retake SAT and/or ACT exam if necessary.

» Begin thinking about who to request your letters of recommendation from.

» Request transcripts from your high school.

• October – November

» Draft any required college admissions or scholarship essays.

» Secure letters of recommendation if required. It is best to request letters of

recommendation at least one to two months in advance of the application

deadline. This allows the recommender time to complete and submit a quality

recommendation.

» Ensure that your transcripts are accurate.

• December – January

» Final application dates for many schools. However, note that early decision


applications are typically due in November.

• February – March

» College acceptance letters begin to arrive.

» Parents need to file taxes to prepare for filling out the FAFSA. Remember to

complete the FAFSA by the priority deadline.

• April – May

» Review your admissions information and submit any required materials to

the college or program of your choice. This may include housing information,

final transcripts, a potential deposit, etc.

Guide OrganizationThe school profiles are organized by grade level: elementary schools, middle schools,

and high schools. A map is provided at the beginning of each grade level to help par-

ents understand where schools are located in comparison to one another. This allows

parents to locate a school on the map and identify other nearby schools to better

understand how they are performing in comparison with one another.

School ProfilesThe schools profiled in this guide include all Fort Worth ISD public schools, including

magnet campuses, and charter schools located in the same zip codes as the district

schools. Disciplinary Alternative Education Programs and private schools are exclud-

ed from the school profiles. All contact information and data from the Campus Profile

and Report Card sections come directly from the Texas Education Agency. Note that

while the CHILDREN AT RISK Graduation Rate utilizes data from the Texas Education

Agency, it is specifically calculated by CHILDREN AT RISK. See the definitions below

for further clarification.

School Rankings and Letter GradesThe numerical rankings and letter grades

come from CHILDREN AT RISK’s 2013 Pub-

lic School Rankings. To rank public schools

across Texas, CHILDREN AT RISK compiles

and analyzes the latest data collected by

the Texas Education Agency. CHILDREN AT

RISK utilizes a diverse array of indicators,

holding schools accountable for perfor-

mance on standardized testing in addition

to other measures such as performance on

college entrance exams, participation in ad-

vanced coursework, and graduation rates. Much like the methodology used by other

institutions to rank higher education programs (e.g., MBA programs and law schools),

CHILDREN AT RISK’s method uses the z-score statistic to standardize the data com-

pared to all campuses across the state and compute a ranking.

• School Rankings: CHILDREN AT RISK’s 2013 Public School Rankings, ranked a total

of 7,070 schools across the state. Each school’s profile will include their ranking

out of the total number of schools ranked for that grade level in Texas.

» State Ranking: Individual School Ranking / Total Schools Ranked for that Grade

Level Across the State

• Letter grades: All schools were assigned a letter grade, based on their weighted

composite z-score. In order to create cut-off scores for each letter grade, dummy

schools were created that represent the minimum performing school for each

letter grade level. The dummy schools were put into the rankings calculations to

Methodology


see what their z-scores would be as com-

pared to the included schools, and these

z-scores were used as the cut-offs for each

letter grade. Once schools were assigned

a general letter grade, A, B, and C grades

were further differentiated into plus/mi-

nus grades. The range of z-scores for each

letter grade was divided evenly into thirds.

The top third of z-scores became “plus”

grades and the bottom third of z-scores

became “minus” grades. In this guide, you

will see the following grades: A+, A, A-, B+,

B, B-, C+, C, C-, D, F, or Not Available (NA).

The IndicatorsCampus Profile Indicators:

• Student Diversity: The percentage of students in each category of ethnicity or race.

• Economically Disadvantaged Students: The percentage of students that are eco-

nomically disadvantaged, i.e., coded as eligible for free or reduced-price lunch or

eligible for other public assistance.

• Special Education Students: The percentage of students served by programs for

students with disabilities.

• Student - Teacher Ratio: The number of students at the school divided by the num-

ber of teachers at the school. This indicator represents the number of students for

every one teacher at the school.

• Total Enrollment: The total number of students enrolled at that campus.

Performance Indicators:

• Advanced Courses: The percentage of students in grades 9-12 who received credit

for at least one advanced course (including Advanced Placement, International Bac-

calaureate, Dual Enrollment, and others).

• CHILDREN AT RISK Graduation Rate: The percentage of first time freshmen who

graduated from any public high school in Texas within four, five, or six years of en-

tering ninth grade.

• Average Class Size: The average number of students in a 3rd grade classroom at

that campus. The Texas Education Agency defines the allowable class size limit for

grades kindergarten through four to be 22 pupils, though campuses may request an

exception.

• Math Gains Score: The average gain or loss on normal curve equivalent score on all

Math state standardized tests taken by students at a particular campus, compared

to the same students’ performance on all Math state standardized tests the year

before. The gains score is only calculated for students who took tests at the same

campus for two consecutive years.

• Reading Gains Score: The average gain or loss on normal curve equivalent score on

all Reading state standardized tests taken by students at a particular campus, com-

pared to the same students’ performance on all Reading state standardized tests

the year before. The gains score is only calculated for students who took tests at

the same campus for two consecutive years.

CHILDREN AT RISK utilizes a diverse

array of indicators, holding schools accountable for

performance


• SAT Score: The average score for all students taking the Scholastic Aptitude Test

(SAT).

• SAT/ACT Test-Takers: The percentage of graduates that have taken either the ACT

or the SAT college admissions exam.

• STAAR Advanced Math: The percentage of 4th or 8th grade students who

achieved “Level III-Advanced” on the Mathematics section of the State of Texas As-

sessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR) examination.

• STAAR Advanced Reading: The percentage of 4th or 8th grade students who

achieved “Level III-Advanced” on the English/Language Arts (ELA) section of the

State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR) examination.

• TAKS Commended Math: The percentage of 10th grade students who achieved

“Commended Performance” on the Mathematics section of the Texas Assessment

of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) examination.

• TAKS Commended Reading: The percentage of 10th grade students who achieved

“Commended Performance” on the English/Language Arts (ELA) section of the

Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) examination.

The Performance ScaleTo classify performance on the Report Card, statewide data was used to calculate

quartiles for each indicator.

• 3+ Above Average: The school’s indicator for that category scored in the top 25%

statewide.

• 3 Average: The school’s indicator for that category scored in the middle 50%

statewide.

• 3- Below Average: The school’s indicator scored in the bottom 25% statewide.

Any field labeled “NA” indicates that data was unavailable from the Texas Education

Agency at the time of publication.

School AssetsIn September 2013, CHILDREN AT RISK conducted a survey to identify the different

programs, or “school assets,” available on individual campuses. An online survey was

emailed to the school principal designated in the Texas Education Agency’s Texas

Education Directory. The survey was emailed three times, and if no response was

gathered CHILDREN AT RISK staff members conducted follow-up phone calls to the

individual schools. During those calls, school asset information was collected from a

variety of school personnel, including, but not limited to, office managers, assistant

principals, and school counselors.

The school assets that appear in this guide were selected based on information gath-

ered through an online parent survey, a series of three parent focus groups, and infor-

mation reported in the school survey. While schools were asked to report whether or

not they were a magnet school campus, the magnet program (program or school of

choice) identification that appears in the school profiles was generated from the lists

METHODOLOGY cont.


on the district’s website. School assets included in the elementary, middle, and high

school profiles are as follows:

• Art Classes

• After School Program

• Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB),

College/Dual Credit Options

• Sports/Athletic Programs

• Before School Program

• College Counseling

• Music Classes

• Pre-k Program (Full Day)

It is important to note that the school asset information has been self-reported by a

school representative or staff member, and is subject to change at any time. This sur-

vey was viewed as an opportunity for schools to share additional information about

the programs available on their campuses. CHILDREN AT RISK understands that not

all schools had the time, or the resources to complete this survey.

If you are a school administrator and believe that your school’s asset data is incorrect

or has not been included in this guide, please visit TexasSchoolGuide.org to update

this information.

CHILDREN AT RISK will make every effort to include updated and current school as-

set data at TexasSchoolGuide.org and in the next edition of Texas School Guide: A

Parent’s Roadmap to Success in Fort Worth ISD Area Public Schools.

Here is a list of terms that appear in Texas School Guide: A Parent’s Roadmap to Suc-

cess in Fort Worth ISD Area Public Schools that may be confusing or new to parents.

Please contact us to let us know if you find any other terms confusing and we will be

happy to consider defining them in future editions.

Advanced Placement Courses (AP): These rigorous courses are a part of the Ad-

vanced Placement Program (AP Program) and are offered at many high schools. AP

Courses are taught by highly qualified teachers, offer college-level curriculum, and

culminate with an AP Exam. Some colleges accept high scores on AP Exams to fulfill

college course credits.

Charter School: Charter schools are public schools that operate independently of lo-

cal school districts. They are tuition-free and open to any student within a specified

region that wishes to apply, but frequently use a lottery system for enrollment due to

high demand.

Early Education (EE): The Texas Education Agency reports the grade levels that are

represented at each school. Early Education (EE) is a grade level for students be-

tween the ages of zero and five who have not been placed in prekindergarten (PK) or

Glossary of Terms


kindergarten (KG). This includes students in Head Start programs who do not meet

the requirements for state funds.

International Baccalaureate (IB): The IB Program is a rigorous, focused curriculum

for juniors and seniors in high schools. It offers advanced coursework and, similar to

AP, involves subject tests leading to the IB Diploma. The IB Program is recognized by

many universities throughout the world.

Magnet Schools / Programs (Programs and Schools of Choice): Magnet programs

have curriculum that is aligned to a particular focus area, such as Science Technology

Engineering Mathematics (STEM), performing arts, leadership, or certain career paths.

These programs require an application, and may be selective or use a lottery system.

In Fort Worth ISD these schools and programs are called Programs and Schools of

Choice.

Montessori: Montessori refers to a particular teaching method that focuses on bring-

ing out the natural interests of a child, in contrast to a more uniform teaching method.

Nontraditional Public School: For the purpose of this guide, the nontraditional public

school label includes schools that offer a specialized curriculum or are designed to

meet the needs of a special student population. This includes alternative schools and

programs.

Post-Secondary Education: Post-secondary education refers to various educational

tracks a student can engage in after high school, including two-year colleges, career

and technical trade schools and four-year universities and colleges.

Traditional Public School: For the purpose of this guide, the traditional public school

label includes all district (i.e., non-charter) schools that offer “traditional” coursework

to the general student populations. Traditional public schools include schools that

house magnet programs. These schools are typically “neighborhood schools” that

students are zoned to based on their home addresses.

En CHILDREN AT RISK, hemos tomado nuestra Clasificación Anual de Escuelas Públicas y hemos transformado los datos en un instrumento que sea una guía para los padres. La Guía de Escuelas de Texas permite a los padres de familia determinar la verdadera calidad de sus opciones abiertas en las escuelas públicas, al buscar escuelas basados en su ubicación, nivel de grados, opciones de programas, tipo de escuela y la nota en letras de CHILDREN AT RISK. Si usted no está satisfecho de la forma en que está rindiendo la escuela de su hijo, no se olvide de visitar nuestras Guías de Padres en Acción, para enterarse sobre los pasos que debe dar, para asegurarse que su hijo reciba la mejor educación posible. Recuerde que, ¡nada de esto es posible sin USTEDES, los padres! Comuníquese con nosotros si quiere participar en un taller de trabajo de los padres y conocer más sobre la información que hay en esta guía. Asimismo, alentamos a todos a darnos sus comentarios sobre este proyecto por visitar GuiaDeLasEscuelas.org o por contactar CHILDREN AT RISK directamente:
