Elementary Schools in Dallas Independent School District (Isd)

The Dallas Independent School District (ISD) contains 156 elementary schools serving grades Pre-K through 8th, with the majority being traditional elementary schools for grades PK-5. These schools serve a diverse student population across the Dallas metropolitan area, with varying levels of academic performance and socioeconomic factors.

Several standout schools emerge from the data, including Lakewood Elementary, which ranks 30th out of 4,647 Texas elementary schools and is rated 5 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. It demonstrates exceptional academic achievement, with 91% of 3rd graders and 92% of 5th graders proficient or better in reading and math. Other high-performing schools include George B Dealey Montessori Academy, Solar Prep For Boys At John F Kennedy, and Trinity Heights Gifted And Talented School.

However, the data also reveals significant disparities in academic performance across the Dallas ISD elementary schools. While the top-performing schools have 80-90%+ of students proficient in reading and math, lower-performing schools may only have 10-30% proficiency. This suggests that factors beyond just funding, such as school leadership, teaching quality, and student/community engagement, play a crucial role in student outcomes. The data highlights the need to address socioeconomic challenges and share best practices to improve educational opportunities for all students in the Dallas ISD.
