This school stands out for its consistently strong academic performance, outpacing the state and its own district (Texas College Preparatory Academies) on STAAR assessments across multiple grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school projected significantly higher proficiency rates than the state in 3rd grade reading, 8th grade reading, and U.S. History end-of-course exams.

Additionally, Pioneer Technology And Arts Academy North Dallas spends significantly more per student, at $23,147 in 2020-2021, compared to nearby charter schools like Founders Classical Academy- Carrollton and Trivium Academy.

The school's diverse student population, with no single racial group making up more than 40% of the student body, is another notable feature, as some nearby charter schools tend to have higher concentrations of specific racial groups. Furthermore, Pioneer Technology And Arts Academy North Dallas has maintained a 0.0% dropout rate in recent years, significantly lower than the 0.6% and 0.5% dropout rates reported for Ischool Virtual Academy Of Texas and Founders Classical Academy-Carrollton, respectively. These factors, combined with the school's strong academic performance, suggest that Pioneer Technology And Arts Academy North Dallas is effectively supporting student learning and achievement.

Data source: National Center for Education Statistics, U.S. Dept of Education.

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.
