Six Fort Worth ISD schools will soon get intensive intervention under a state-led turnaround program aimed at boosting student performance.
The campuses - Clifford Davis Elementary, Morningside Middle, Wedgwood Middle, West Handley Elementary, Western Hills Elementary/Primary, and William James Middle - have struggled on recent accountability ratings. Starting in the 2026-27 school year, they’ll transition into what’s called the “Resource Campus Model,” which brings in new tools to raise achievement.
The effort includes longer instructional time, added training and support for staff, and incentives designed to attract and keep high-performing teachers. A new curriculum tailored to each school will also be rolled out.
Clifford Davis Elementary is the largest of the group, with nearly 700 students enrolled. Morningside Middle and Western Hills Elementary/Primary also rank among the bigger campuses in the effort.
Here are the six FWISD campuses picked for the state-led turnaround effort: Clifford Davis Elementary, Morningside Middle, Wedgwood Middle, West Handley Elementary, Western Hills Elementary/Primary, and William James Middle.
District leaders say the changes are meant to give students at the most challenged schools a stronger foundation and close long-standing achievement gaps. Parents will receive additional information from Fort Worth ISD as the schools prepare for the transition.
