At the Educational & Economical Awareness Group, we have identified how disparities in funding and quality of education have impacted Fort Worth public schools.
On this page, you’ll find charts with disturbing facts:

Out of 85 Elementary Schools in the Fort Worth Independent School District, 30 Failed the STAAR Test in the 2018-2019 Academic Year
All 30 Schools Are Located in Black and Brown Areas
No Computers/No Books For the Majority of Students

50 Years Ago, We Integrated Schools.
Today, We Have Segregated Neighborhoods,
And the Same Problems We Had 50 Years Ago

FACT: Examine Chart No. 2 – Tanglewood’s budget is approximately 2 million dollars more than 5 other schools that have about the same number of students. The annual teachers’ salaries are higher by several hundred thousand. This enables Tanglewood and similarly well-funded schools to hire more teachers and reduce the size of their classes. Also, their students have access to the necessary books and equipment. Source of information: FWISD – CFO’s and CPA’s office under the Freedom of Information Act.

FACT: A fully equipped phonics package, i.e., Frog Street, Jump Street, Smarty Ants, Achieve 3000, Reading Street, Neuhaus Direct Phonics, etc., should be available for each school (and not for just one classroom) to share. All students need the Chromebooks and laptops that students at other schools in the FWISD have.
