Northwest ISD academic profile

DFW school districts rank: 20

Academic performance score: 10

Texas Education Agency accountability grade: A

The ranking methodology used to identify school districts with best academic performance is presented on this 2019 best DFW school districts rankings page. The academic performance score provides a quick way to determine approximately where a school district's or school's student academic performance ranks among the performance of students in other Texas districts and schools. School districts and campuses with combined State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR) and college readiness indexes ranked in the top ten percent of Texas school districts and schools are awarded an academic performance score of 10, districts and schools with combined academic performance indexes in the ninth decile receive a score of 9, and so on. Northwest ISD was joined by 11.9 percent of all Texas K-12 school districts in being recognized by the Texas Education Agency (TEA) with an accountability grade of A, the top grade awarded in 2018 to school districts.

Northwest Independent School District operates seventeen elementary schools, five middle schools, and four high schools. These twenty-six schools are attended by approximately 23,100 students who live in Trophy Club, Flower Mound, Fort Worth, Haslet, Justin, Keller, Northlake, Rhome, Roanoke and Southlake.

Northwest ISD's 2018 TEA STAAR component scaled score is 90. As is further explained in the Texas Education Agency 2018 Accountability Manual, the STAAR scaled score is calculated by first adding equal weightings of the percentage of assessments on which students’ performance mastered grade level, met grade level and approached grade level, dividing the sum by 3 and rounding it to the nearest whole percentage. This raw STAAR raw component score is then adjusted or “scaled” by using a conversion table to align accountability letter grades and scores of Texas public school districts and campuses.

As depicted in the 2018 TEA STAARS scores graph (right) and shown in the Northwest ISD schools table (below), eleven Northwest ISD campuses attained TEA STAAR scaled scores between 90 and 100, nine campuses STAAR scores were between 80 and 89, and six Northwest ISD campuses had STAAR scaled scores between 70 and 79.

Students living in the north Dallas suburbs profiled on this website attend ten Northwest ISD schools. Six of these campuses have a 2018 TEA STAAR scaled score between 90 and 100 and the STAAR scaled scores for four campuses are between 80 and 89. The 2018 accountability rating for all Northwest ISD schools is Met Standard, the TEA's highest campus rating. Additional academic performance, student enrollment, teacher staffing and other information about these schools is available by clicking on selected campus names.
