Academy Of Dallas

Academy of Dallas is the sole public charter school serving grades PK-8 in the Academy of Dallas district, with 269 students enrolled. The school faces significant academic and socioeconomic challenges, with consistently low test scores and a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.

Academically, Academy of Dallas has ranked in the bottom 5-10% of Texas elementary schools based on the SchoolDigger statewide ranking. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's STAAR test scores were significantly below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates ranging from 0% to 27.5%. This suggests the school may need to implement substantial interventions and improvements to address the learning needs of its students.

Demographically, the student population at Academy of Dallas is predominantly African American (72.12%) and Hispanic (24.16%), raising questions about educational equity and the potential for systemic biases or barriers that may be impacting the school's performance. Additionally, 93.68% of students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population, which may contribute to the school's academic struggles and require additional resources and support.
