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.”

"Kokomo" was the Beach Boys' first hit in 20 years and ended up being their biggest selling single. Paul McCartney once said that "God Only Knows" was the most beautiful pop song ever written.
