Starrett El

Starrett EL is a elementary school located in Grand Prairie, TX, serving grades -1–6 and approximately 600 students. Operated by Arlington ISD, the campus sits about 17.7 miles from The Fort Worth's newsroom and is part of The Fort Worth's ongoing local education coverage.

The school employs roughly 44 full-time-equivalent classroom teachers for a student-to-teacher ratio of about 13.6:1. That ratio is below the state average for TX, generally an indicator of smaller class sizes and more individualized instruction.

Starrett EL is a traditional zoned public school within Arlington ISD, meaning enrollment is generally tied to residence within the school's attendance boundary. Boundary maps and feeder patterns are published by the district and updated annually.

State accountability ratings for TEA are released annually and combine student achievement, growth, and closing-the-gaps metrics. The Fort Worth publishes rating updates as soon as they become public each fall, with comparisons to nearby campuses and prior-year trends.

For families in Grand Prairie considering elementary placement, Starrett EL is one of the campuses The Fort Worth regularly covers — including school board decisions, bond elections, and individual program changes that affect enrollment.
