William James School Faces Fifth Straight F | Texas News

William James Middle School just got its fifth straight F rating, triggering state intervention under Texas law—meaning the school could close or be taken over. Fort Worth ISD, already under state control since October, now has seven failing campuses down from eleven last year, but William James remains a critical red flag. Ratings are based on STAAR test performance, achievement gaps, and graduation readiness—grades reflecting last year’s data before new state-appointed leaders took charge. The district’s overall score improved to a C, but returning control to the elected board requires eliminating multiple-F campuses, hitting state averages in reading and math, and proving stronger governance.
