The goals of McLean 6th Grade Center are to provide a well-balanced curriculum for all students and to enrich the academic, social, and emotional capabilities of students in order to develop a sense of community. 

The school originally began its academic life as Bluebonnet Elementary in November of 1950. The school later became known as the Applied Learning Academy, but by the Fall of 2000, the institution housed McLean 6th Grade Center.

  Paschal High School

A comprehensive public high school, R. L. Paschal High School first opened its doors in 1885 as Fort Worth High School. Tens of thousands of Fort Worth residents have learned, grown, and graduated from Paschal over the decades. Many of them have been named National Merit Commended Scholars, Hispanic Scholars, and National Merit Semifinalists or Finalists.  We have also seen hundreds of Advanced Placement Scholars, more than all other FWISD schools combined.  Alumni of Paschal have built a legacy that reaches from the White House to the moon.  

Today, about 2200 students call Paschal home.  Some are athletes, some are musicians, some will go on to be doctors, politicians, or business owners, but all will be challenged during their years at Paschal to be prepared for college, career, and community leadership.  They will experience the value of diversity, a tremendous sampling of Fort Worth, and they will learn to support one another.  

Paschal continues its tradition of academic excellence, graduating three National Merit finalists and six Commended Scholars in 2023. Paschal also had a total of 65 students receive the AP Scholar, Scholar with Distinction, National AP Scholar, Dual Credit, or On Ramps honor. 

Paschal boasts a full array of men's and women's sports including football, baseball, swimming, wrestling, cross country, golf, soccer, tennis, volleyball, softball, and track and field. 

Paschal offers a robust visual and performing arts program, JROTC, and a large variety of clubs and organizations.
