West Handley Elementary

West Handley Elementary sits in the east Fort Worth community of Handley, a working-class neighborhood with deep roots and a tight-knit feel that's a world away from the newer suburbs creeping up around Tarrant County. The school serves a student body that faces real challenges, and families here are navigating a system where academic outcomes — particularly in English and Math — rank among the most difficult in the state. For families in this zip code, understanding those realities and actively partnering with teachers and community organizations can make a meaningful difference in a child's experience here.
