FWISD parents unsure about students’ academic success demand more clarity of online portal

Fort Worth ISD parents like Lashanta Mire and Trenace Dorsey-Hollins have voiced concerns over the complexity of accessing and understanding their students’ test scores on the district’s parent portal. While the district introduced a tutorial to assist parents, many found the information provided to be confusing and inadequate. Parents also raised concerns about discrepancies between perceived student success based on report cards and actual grade-level proficiency. While the district plans future website redesigns and grading model changes, parents stress the urgency of improving the parent portal for better transparency and accessibility.
