George Peabody Elementary

Summary:

George Peabody Elementary is a public elementary school in Dallas, Texas, serving 359 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Dallas Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 557 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating.

George Peabody Elementary has consistently performed below the state and district averages in STAAR test scores, with the largest gaps in 5th grade Reading and 6th grade Mathematics. However, the school's performance in STAAR Spanish assessments is generally stronger, and it ranks particularly well for English Language Learner (ELL) students. Conversely, the school's performance for Special Education and Gifted and Talented students has been relatively low. With a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, the school serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged population.

Nearby schools within the Dallas ISD, such as Anson Jones Elementary, Arturo Salazar Elementary, and Lida Hooe Elementary, have similar demographic profiles and performance challenges. However, some schools, like Rosemont Lower - Chris V Semos Building and Golden Rule (a public charter school), have shown stronger academic performance, suggesting that factors beyond just demographics may be contributing to student outcomes at George Peabody Elementary.

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.
