Fort Worth Independent School District is a school district based in Fort Worth, Texas, United States. It is the fifth largest school district in Texas (but may fall to sixth within the next 1-2 years).
Fort Worth ISD serves most of the city of Fort Worth. The district also serves the cities of Benbrook, Westover Hills, and Westworth Village. The district also covers portions of Forest Hill, Haltom City, Kennedale and unincorporated portions of Tarrant County.
In 2010, the district unveiled one of the largest, most comprehensive redesigns of secondary education in the nation with its Gold Seal Programs of Choice and Gold Seal Schools of Choice. Each of its 13 high schools introduced curricula focused on college and career pathways.
As part of the Gold Seal plan, the district has also opened a single-gender school for girls, the Young Women's Leadership Academy; a single-gender school for boys, the Young Men's Leadership Academy; an early college high school, Marine Creek Collegiate High School; and an early college medical high school, the Texas Academy of Biomedical Sciences.
In 2009, the school district was rated "academically acceptable" by the Texas Education Agency.
