Texas Monthly recently published a list of 574 high-performing schools in the state. As identified by the National Center for Educational Accountability (formerly 'Just for the Kids'), a research group at the University of Texas at Austin, the following Fort Worth schools made the cut:

Burton Hill Elementary

J.T. Stevens Elementary

Ridglea Hills Elementary

Tanglewood Elementary

McLean Middle

Rosemont Sixth Grade

Stripling Middle

According to Texas Monthy, the NCEA's criteria considers all the essential subjects: reading, writing, math, science, and social studies. A school's performance in these areas, compared alongside the demographic makeup of the student body, determines whether or not the school is deemed “higher performing.”
