Summary:

Uplift Pinnacle Preparatory Pri is an elementary public charter school in Dallas, Texas, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 429. Despite being part of the Uplift Education district, which is ranked 701 out of 968 districts in Texas, the school consistently underperforms both the district and the state of Texas on standardized test scores.

Uplift Pinnacle Preparatory Pri has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (75.99%) compared to the nearby public schools, which range from 82-98% Hispanic students. The school also has a lower percentage of White students (0.23-1.58%) compared to the nearby schools (0.72-3.98%).

Interestingly, the nearby public schools, such as Winnetka Elementary, Barbara Jordan Elementary, and Margaret B Henderson Elementary, consistently outperform Uplift Pinnacle Preparatory Pri on STAAR test scores, with higher percentages of students meeting proficiency standards. This suggests that factors such as racial diversity, socioeconomic status, and targeted support programs may play a role in academic outcomes, as the nearby schools serve a more diverse student population and have a range of free/reduced lunch rates from 85-96%.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
