Overview

• Preliminary TEA accountability data show Fort Worth ISD’s F-rated campuses dropped from 31 to 11 and A-rated schools increased by 70 percent.
• Four elementary schools—M.L. Phillips, Cesar Chavez, Versia Williams and D. McRae—jumped from an F to a B rating while nine others advanced from F to C.
• District leaders credit a new strategic plan, an intensified focus on literacy and math and the Lone Star Governance program for driving improvements.
• Commissioner Mike Morath has scheduled on-site campus visits and will review both quantitative ratings and qualitative factors before issuing a final intervention decision.
• Mayor Mattie Parker and Superintendent Dr. Karen Molinar say the momentum demonstrates the district’s ability to self-correct and avoid a state takeover.
