Meadowbrook El, Fort Worth TX - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on Meadowbrook El

Meadowbrook Elementary is a small public school serving pre-kindergarten through fifth grade in Fort Worth, enrolling approximately mid-sized population for its grade band. Nearly all students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, and the student body is overwhelmingly Hispanic with smaller shares of Black and White students.

The school's state test results show uneven performance. In English language arts on the official STAAR exam, third graders reached about half proficiency, and fifth graders performed higher, at just over half proficiency. Fourth grade on the Spanish-language STAAR shows much lower proficiency in ELA. In math, the school reports zero proficiency on the Spanish-language STAAR at grades three and five, though the tested groups in those grades are very small. On the English STAAR in math, comparable data for the broader tested population is not provided. In science, Spanish-language STAAR shows zero proficiency at fifth grade on a tiny tested sample. Overall, Meadowbrook shows that a significant share of students reach the "approaches" level across subjects, meaning they demonstrate foundational skills, but the share meeting grade-level standards sits at roughly four in ten students across subjects. Performance at the "masters" level is sparse, reaching about three in ten students only in specific subjects.

The school sits in the bottom quartile for overall proficiency when compared to the other districts in Tarrant County, suggesting its performance is among the lower end of the county peer group.

Meadowbrook's student composition and test results reflect an economically and linguistically diverse population with high poverty. The presence of small cohorts taking Spanish-language assessments points to either recent immigrant enrollment or a dual-language program; a parent may want to ask the school directly about language pathways and how the school supports English learners. The thin data on some grade-level results, particularly in math and science, is typical of smaller schools where test-taker counts are low; this also means year-to-year results can be volatile.

Fort Worth itself is one of the nation's fastest-growing large cities, with rapid housing development on its edges, rising housing costs, and an economy anchored by aerospace, defense, health care, and education. The school's location and its student population reflect the city's working-class and immigrant-serving neighborhoods. For families considering this school, the main question is whether the school's current proficiency levels and available support systems align with their child's needs and their expectations for academic progress.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
