Personalized Learning Preparatory At Sam Houston

Summary:

Personalized Learning Preparatory At Sam Houston is an elementary school in Dallas, Texas that serves students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade as part of the Dallas Independent School District. The school has seen fluctuations in its student racial makeup, with Hispanic students making up the largest percentage, followed by African American and White students. Personalized Learning Preparatory At Sam Houston has consistently outperformed the district and state in STAAR assessments, particularly in reading, mathematics, and science.

The school's strong academic performance is reflected in its high rankings for Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Special Education student groups, indicating a focus on equity and inclusion. However, the school has struggled with the performance of its Gifted and Talented student group, ranking in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools. Personalized Learning Preparatory At Sam Houston has a relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio, which may contribute to its academic success. When compared to nearby schools, such as Bradfield Elementary and Armstrong Elementary in the Highland Park Independent School District, the disparities in academic performance suggest the need to further address resource inequities and ensure that all students have access to the support and opportunities they need to succeed.

Overall, Personalized Learning Preparatory At Sam Houston stands out as a high-performing school within the Dallas ISD, consistently outpacing the district and state in academic achievement. The school's focus on equity and inclusion is a notable strength, but the disparities in performance compared to nearby high-performing schools in more affluent districts highlight the importance of addressing resource inequities and providing all students with the support they need to thrive.

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.
