Bonnie Brae, Ft Worth TX - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on Bonnie Brae

Bonnie Brae serves children from pre-kindergarten through fifth grade in Fort Worth. The school enrolls a small cohort typical for an elementary school, with a balanced distribution across the grades. The student body is overwhelmingly Hispanic, and a substantial majority of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a community with significant economic need.

State testing results from the most recent year show proficiency levels that fall in the bottom quartile when compared to other districts in Tarrant County. In English language arts, fewer than a third of fourth-graders tested at proficient level or above. Math proficiency was similarly low across the tested grades, with third graders showing proficiency well below the median for comparable schools in the county. Some of the school's tested cohorts are quite small, which can make individual year results less stable. A parent may want to look into the school's specific academic supports and intervention strategies, particularly in foundational math and reading skills.

The assessment data shows that while some students are approaching grade-level standards, the proportion meeting or mastering grade-level content is modest. In social studies, where broader elementary cohorts are tested, proficiency was also low. The school's measured overall proficiency index places it notably below the county median, which suggests that academic acceleration and remediation efforts may be areas to discuss directly with school leadership.

Fort Worth itself is a rapidly growing major city anchored by aerospace, aviation, and healthcare employers.

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.
