Poolville El, Poolville TX - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on Poolville El

Poolville Elementary is a small, rural public school serving pre-kindergarten through fifth grade in an unincorporated community northwest of Fort Worth. The school sits in a low-density, car-dependent landscape where homes sit on large lots and neighbors are spread across rolling pasture and countryside. This is a place where school life anchors community identity in ways urban areas often do not; the three Poolville campuses are the civic center.

The enrollment is modest, with a student body that reflects both the local rural character and some recent residential growth. The population leans predominantly white, with a growing Hispanic presence. A substantial share of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, placing them in families with incomes below federal thresholds. Data on special education and English learner enrollment was not available, so you may want to ask the school directly about the services and support structures in place for these students.

Academically, the school's state testing results show a mixed picture. In English language arts, proficiency runs solidly at the third-grade level and holds around the midpoint in grades four and five. Math performance is notably weaker; third and fourth grades are in the mid-to-low range, though fifth grade recovers somewhat. Science testing at fifth grade sits below midpoint. Across all subjects and grades combined, the school measures slightly above the midpoint of districts in Parker County, the immediate peer group, but the data shows math as a clear soft spot that may warrant conversation with the school about classroom support, intervention, and curriculum.

The district itself faces enrollment pressure. Voters rejected bond measures in 2022 and 2023 that would have funded campus expansion to address overcrowding; the elementary is currently over functional capacity, and growth projections suggest the pressure will intensify. No new facility plan is funded, a factor families considering the school should keep in mind. The absence of a capital expansion plan in a fast-growing district raises real questions about class size, scheduling, and resource allocation as enrollment climbs.

This is a school for families who value rural living, know their neighbors, and want their children embedded in a small-town school culture. It is not a school positioned for high academic acceleration or a broad menu of specialized programs, and the math and science results suggest that foundational proficiency work remains underway. A parent considering Poolville Elementary should visit, ask about how the school is responding to crowding, inquire specifically about math support, and confirm what bilingual or English learner services the school provides.

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.
