Original Research by School Decision on Willoughby House
Willoughby House is an alternative middle school in Fort Worth that has closed. The school served grade eight and operated as a public alternative setting, not a charter.
The available test data comes from a single year, 2017-18, and shows only that one student in the eighth grade took the state math and English language arts assessments under the regular testing format. Results for that student have been suppressed by the state, meaning the proficiency numbers cannot be reported. No enrollment counts, demographic information, socioeconomic data, attendance figures, or staffing details are available in the record.
Fort Worth ISD, the district that operated this school, serves most of Fort Worth plus several surrounding communities. The city itself has grown rapidly, crossing a major population threshold in recent years and continuing to add residents. Downtown and the Cultural District anchor civic life, with Sundance Square and major museums drawing regular traffic. The economy centers on aerospace and defense, education, health care, and major employers such as American Airlines. Housing costs have risen substantially with the growth; rents and purchase prices that were once more affordable than comparable Texas cities have moved upward. Public transit via Trinity Metro connects the city and region, though many residents rely on cars.
Because Willoughby House has closed, it is no longer an option for families seeking a school placement. For those interested in alternative education pathways for middle grades in Fort Worth, the district offers other choices that would have current enrollment, program, and performance information available.
