Original Research by School Decision on Hazel Harvey Peace El
Hazel Harvey Peace Elementary serves students from pre-kindergarten through fifth grade in the southwest portion of Fort Worth. The school draws from a neighborhood where the majority of families experience economic hardship. About a substantial share of the enrollment qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch. The student body is predominantly Black, with meaningful populations of Hispanic, Asian, and other students, reflecting Fort Worth's demographic diversity.
In state testing, the school's results show real challenges. Grade 3 math proficiency sits well below where most schools perform, with a small share of students meeting or exceeding grade-level standards. Grade 4 math is slightly higher but still low. English language arts shows a similar pattern in grade 3, where about a quarter of students achieved proficiency. Grade 4 ELA testing appears to have been administered in Spanish to a very small group, making that result difficult to interpret. Grade 5 testing, across subjects, appears to reflect low sample sizes in Spanish-language administration, so those figures do not reflect the grade's full picture.
Looking across all tested grades, when students reach proficiency or higher on the STAAR assessments, it happens in relatively small proportions. The school reports that a modest share of all students are meeting standards across subjects, while a larger share are approaching standards but not yet proficient. In math specifically, roughly a quarter meet or exceed standards when you combine all grade levels; in ELA, about a similar proportion. Social studies results are notably lower. Only a very small portion of students are mastering material at the highest level.
The school's test performance places it in the bottom quartile compared to other districts in Tarrant County. This is a meaningful gap, and a parent considering this school should understand that students here are learning in an environment where grade-level proficiency rates are substantially below county norms.
The enrollment itself is small to moderate for this grade band, with students distributed across seven grades from pre-K through fifth. The school's location in southwest Fort Worth puts it in a neighborhood where home values and rents are modest relative to state and national benchmarks. The broader Fort Worth area has been experiencing rapid population growth and housing development, particularly on the city's western and northwestern edges, though this particular school's neighborhood shows more established character.
The specific programs, staffing ratios, attendance patterns, and special services available at the school were not provided in the available data. A parent should reach out directly to the school to understand what support structures exist for students who are below grade level, what reading or math intervention programs operate, whether the school has a structured English language learner program, and what special education services are available.
