Tannahill Int, Fort Worth TX - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on Tannahill Int

Tannahill Intermediate is a public intermediate school in Fort Worth that serves fifth and sixth grades. It sits in White Settlement Independent School District, a smaller district within Tarrant County that serves most of the Fort Worth area along with a handful of adjacent towns.

The school's recent history reflects a major district reorganization. In August 2024, White Settlement ISD completed a grade-level realignment funded by a bond approved in 2022. Tannahill's prior role as a traditional intermediate school changed; it is now home to the Fine Arts Academy, which relocated from another campus. This means the intermediate grades themselves have moved elsewhere in the district to a newly created Sixth Grade Center. For families currently in the district, this shift altered which campus their child attends at each grade level, though the reconfiguration did reduce the number of school transitions for elementary students.

Academic performance at Tannahill, when it served as an intermediate school, showed substantial challenges. State testing data from 2024 shows proficiency rates well below the midpoint among Tarrant County districts. In sixth-grade English language arts, about four in ten students tested as proficient. In sixth-grade math, the rate fell to about one in five. Fifth-grade results were even lower, with proficiency rates in the low single digits across math, language arts, and science. The school tested a small number of fifth graders in Spanish, and zero proficiency in science. Overall, the school's proficiency index sits in the bottom quartile when compared to other Tarrant County districts.

The student body reflected significant economic need. About two-thirds of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch. The enrollment was diverse: roughly half the students identified as Hispanic, about one-third as white, with Black students and other groups making up the remainder. The school served roughly nine hundred students across its two grades, with a somewhat larger sixth-grade cohort.

Housing in the school's zip code falls modestly below the state benchmark in value, and monthly rents have remained relatively stable. The area supports a mixed economic profile typical of inner Fort Worth neighborhoods.

A parent may want to look into the current role and enrollment status of Tannahill with the district, given the 2024 restructuring. The school's intermediate function has been relocated, and its new mission as home to the Fine Arts Academy represents a material change from its prior academic program and purpose.

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.
