Wisdom Pri

Summary:

Wisdom Pri is a public charter elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Dallas, Texas, with a student population of 572 that is predominantly Hispanic (63.81%) and African American (33.39%). The school is part of the Gateway Charter Academy district, which is ranked 701 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Wisdom Pri's academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is generally lower than the district and state averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 28.05% of 3rd grade students were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 38.75% for the district and 48.85% for Texas. However, the school performs better for specific subgroups, ranking 1150 out of 2443 Texas elementary schools for African American students and 2376 out of 3556 for English Language Learner students. Wisdom Pri also has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 87.97% to 92.48% over the past three school years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

When comparing Wisdom Pri to nearby schools, some interesting patterns emerge. Otto M Fridia Elementary and Clara Oliver Elementary, both part of the Dallas Independent School District, have similar academic performance and student demographics to Wisdom Pri. However, schools like Thomas L Marsalis Elementary Steam Academy and Mark Twain School for the Talented and Gifted, also in the Dallas ISD, significantly outperform Wisdom Pri academically.

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.
