Mount Auburn Steam Academy

Summary:

Mount Auburn Steam Academy is an elementary school in the Dallas Independent School District (ISD) that serves grades PK-5, with a student population of 540 in a predominantly Hispanic neighborhood.

Despite receiving higher per-student funding and having a lower student-teacher ratio than the district and state averages, Mount Auburn Steam Academy consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools. The school's performance on STAAR tests is significantly below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subjects, particularly in science, where only 7.27% of 5th graders were proficient in 2023-2024, compared to 17.71% for Dallas ISD and 26.29% for Texas. The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged (89.81%) and Hispanic (84.44%) students may contribute to these challenges.

Interestingly, the nearby Paul L. Dunbar Learning Center, also in the Dallas ISD, has a higher academic performance than Mount Auburn Steam Academy, while the Lakewood Elementary School, serving a more affluent, predominantly white student population, significantly outperforms Mount Auburn Steam Academy and other nearby schools. These comparisons suggest that addressing the unique challenges faced by Mount Auburn Steam Academy, such as its high percentage of economically disadvantaged and Hispanic students, will be crucial in improving the school's academic outcomes.

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.
