![]() ![]() In June 2021, Education Commissioner Mike Morath and the State Board of Education allowed Rocketship Public Schools Texas to open public elementary charter schools in Tarrant County. “The Rocketship campus will be the first of many new developments in Stop 6 that prioritizes education for our students and creates new opportunities for the vitality of Fort Worth families.” “The investments Rocketship Texas is making in our public education ecosystem and in our community are helping move Fort Worth forward,” said Fort Worth Mayor Mattie Parker, who did not attend the ceremony because she has COVID-19. Parents from the community, many of whom traveled to Austin last summer to support the school’s application in front of the Texas State Board of Education, celebrated with community members and supporters. Mayor Pro Tem Gyna Bivens, former Fort Worth ISD Superintendent Walter Dansby, and Miller commemorated the occasion with remarks before the groundbreaking. “I’ve spent my entire career working with students and families to eliminate the achievement gap in Tarrant County and this new school is another big step to make that dream a reality.” “This school will be a beacon of joy and opportunity for the entire Stop 6 and Fort Worth community,” Rocketship Texas Superintendent SaJade Miller said. This new school will serve as an anchor for the neighborhood to usher in more opportunity and new development going forward. Opening in the Stop 6 neighborhood of Fort Worth in August 2022, this school marks one of the first new major development investments in the southeast Berry Street neighborhood in more than a decade. The campus will feature a two-story elementary school with 22 classrooms, two learning labs for project-based, collaborative learning, and a separate gymnasium for physical education. Construction is now underway on the first public, charter elementary school operated by Rocketship Public Schools Texas.Ī groundbreaking ceremony was held at the site located at 3520 E. ![]()
