Treetops School International, TX

Original Research by School Decision on Treetops School International

Treetops School International is a small charter district spanning kindergarten through twelfth grade in Tarrant County, serving a student body of roughly mid-size for a charter network. The school's recent history has been marked by substantial structural change. Beginning with the 2025-2026 school year, the district cut its middle and high school grades, shifting from a K-12 model to kindergarten through sixth grade only. This transition followed years of falling enrollment and financial strain; the board cited mounting budget deficits and the risk of bankruptcy as drivers of the decision. Families with students who would have entered grades seven through twelve must now plan for their children to attend school elsewhere after sixth grade.

Coinciding with this grade-level reduction, Treetops also moved to a four-day school week starting in 2025-2026. The district adopted the compressed calendar partly to retain teachers during its financial difficulties. Parents should account for this scheduling change when evaluating the school's fit, especially regarding childcare and the overall instructional calendar.

On academics, the district shows mixed results across subjects. Reading and language arts performance is notably stronger than mathematics. In ELA, proficiency rates across tested grades range from solid ground in the upper elementary years to high performance by eighth grade, where proficiency reaches a high mark. Mathematics proficiency is considerably lower, with third and fourth graders performing at lower levels and rates across the middle grades remaining below where the district performs in reading. Science proficiency sits in the moderate range, while social studies performance dips into the lower range at the eighth-grade level. The district's overall proficiency index places it in the top quartile among Tarrant County districts, a reflection of the stronger showing in reading literacy. However, parents may want to look into the district's approach to mathematics instruction further with the school, given the gap between ELA and math results.

The student population leans white, with a plurality drawn from that demographic. Hispanic students comprise a meaningful share, followed by multiracial students and Black students. Asian enrollment is present in smaller numbers. The enrollment spans all grade levels currently served, with slightly larger classes in the early elementary years.

Regarding resources, Treetops operates in the lower spending range among county districts on a per-pupil basis. Chronic absenteeism sits above the midpoint for Tarrant County, meaning attendance is an area where the school's rate exceeds the typical county pattern. Data on free-or-reduced-price lunch rates and English learner enrollment were not available.

The path forward for Treetops is a narrower one. Families seeking a K-12 private or charter pathway should look elsewhere. Those interested in elementary instruction may find the school's international focus and small scale appealing, but should be aware that middle school and beyond will require a transition to another school and that the four-day week is now a permanent part of the instructional model.
