Lizzie Curtis Elementary

Lizzie Curtis Elementary sits in the fast-growing northern reaches of Fort Worth, where new subdivisions and young families have been putting down roots at a steady clip. The school lands solidly in the middle of the pack statewide, with math being a relative bright spot, and it's part of the well-regarded Northwest ISD, which has built a strong reputation as the area has expanded. Families drawn to the affordable, suburban feel of the 76131 zip code — close enough to Fort Worth's amenities but with that spacious, newer-construction vibe — will find a school that reflects the community: still developing its identity, but with a solid foundation to build on.
