Education - K-12

Fort Worth offers a wide range of educational resources - from pre-kindergarten to graduate school - to its growing work force and their families.

The Fort Worth school district contains 144 K-12 schools that have received numerous accolades and recognitions including the ‘What Parents Want’ award from SchoolMatch, a private firm that assists companies with relocation. It’s the seventh year the district received the award, and only 14 percent of the nation’s public school districts are recognized.

According to the Texas Education Agency School Ratings for 2008-2009, 12 schools in Fort Worth ISD rated Exemplary, 43 were Recognized and 49 rated Academically Acceptable.

Due to its numerous educational opportunities and successes, many Fort Worth high school seniors stay in the Metroplex to further their education as well as enter the local work force and build their families in the area.
