City Profile
A commitment to improvement continues in education projects to serve the City’s growing population. Just
recently, a $1.2 billion school bond package was approved to help fund several updates to area schools in the Fort
Worth Independent School District (FWISD). Additionally, in late September 2022, the FWISD School Board
finalized a contract for the district’s new superintendent, Angelica Ramsey.
In addition to public schools, two new charter schools recently opened in Fort Worth. IDEA Southeast opened on
Seminary Drive and IDEA Rise opened on Cherry Lane. These charter schools will focus on college preparation.
Area institutions of higher education have likewise shown their commitment to growth by recently announcing
plans for expansion, including TCU’s expansion of its medical school and A&M’s expansion of its nationally-ranked
law school.
