Fort Worth Country Day School is one of the most prestigious private college-preparatory schools in Texas — a JK–12 independent, coeducational, nondenominational institution set on approximately 100 acres in southwest Fort Worth. Ranked among the top 20 college prep private high schools in Texas and among the top 300 private high schools in the nation according to Niche’s 2025 rankings, FWCD holds an A+ rating on Niche and sends 100% of its graduates on to four-year colleges and universities.
Because it is a private independent school, FWCD is not subject to the Texas Education Agency’s public school accountability system — which means its reputation rests entirely on outcomes: a demanding curriculum that includes 22 AP courses, an 8:1 student-to-teacher ratio, and membership in the Malone Schools Online Network through Stanford University’s Online High School. Admission is open to all students through a competitive application process regardless of home address, so families have the flexibility to search for a home anywhere in Fort Worth without being locked into a specific attendance zone.
The neighborhoods closest to FWCD — including Westover Hills, Tanglewood, and the broader Westside — are among the most established and sought-after in Fort Worth, offering estate-scale homes on generous lots, tree-lined streets, proximity to the Cultural District and Camp Bowie Boulevard, access to Trinity Trails, and convenient connections to downtown and DFW International Airport.
