George W Truett Elementary

Summary:

George W Truett Elementary is a public elementary school in Dallas, Texas, serving 901 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Dallas Independent School District.

George W Truett Elementary has shown steady improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from the bottom 10% of Texas elementary schools in 2015-2016 to the top 40% in 2023-2024. The school performs exceptionally well in serving its Hispanic and English Language Learner (ELL) student populations, ranking in the top 15% and top 8% of Texas elementary schools, respectively, in 2022-2023. However, the school struggles to serve its gifted and talented students, ranking in the bottom 15% of Texas elementary schools in this category. Compared to nearby schools, George W Truett outperforms Bayles Elementary and S.S. Conner Elementary, but lags behind the performance of Alex Sanger Preparatory School, a nearby public charter school.

The significant increase in per-student spending at George W Truett Elementary, from $9,182 in 2018-2019 to $13,196 in 2020-2021, suggests that the Dallas Independent School District is investing more resources in the school, which may be contributing to its improved performance. However, the school still faces challenges in addressing the needs of its gifted and talented students, indicating that the additional funding may not be adequately addressing the needs of all student groups.

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.
