Overton Park Elementary

Tucked into one of Fort Worth's most beloved neighborhoods near the Cultural District and the tree-lined streets of Overton Park, this elementary school is about as close to a sure thing as you'll find in Tarrant County. Families who settle in this part of Fort Worth — a mix of charming older homes, walkable parks, and proximity to the museums along Camp Bowie — are drawn to the area partly because of schools like this one, where English and math scores sit at the very top of the state. It's a strong fit for families who want a rigorous academic foundation without leaving the warmth and character of one of Fort Worth's most established communities.
