FORT WORTH, Texas -- All of Fort Worth Independent School District's 141 schools met the new academic standard under President George W. Bush's new "no school left behind" program, but school administrators say there is room for improvement.

Three dozen schools fell short in the number of students who took the test.

Carter Riverside High School missed the mark for the number of seniors graduating, with just below 63 percent graduated last year. The new federal standard is 70 percent graduation.
