K B Polk Center For Academically Talented & Gifted

Summary:

K B Polk Center For Academically Talented & Gifted is a public magnet elementary school in the Dallas Independent School District (ISD) that serves grades PK-8, with a diverse student population that is majority Hispanic (70.15% in 2022-2023) and from a lower-income area (81.8% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch).

The school has strong academic performance, particularly in reading, outperforming the Dallas ISD and state averages in the percentage of students proficient or better on the STAAR assessments. For example, 89.29% of 7th graders were proficient or better in STAAR reading, compared to 43.94% for Dallas ISD and 52.08% for Texas. However, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Texas elementary schools for its gifted and talented program, suggesting it may be underserving its high-achieving students. Additionally, there are notable disparities in academic performance across racial/ethnic groups, with the school's White students ranking in the top 1% of Texas elementary schools for reading, while its Hispanic students ranked in the bottom 25%. The school has also struggled to support its English Language Learner (ELL) students, ranking in the bottom 30% of Texas elementary schools for this subgroup in reading and math.

Compared to other nearby schools, K B Polk Center For Academically Talented & Gifted generally outperforms them in academic achievement, particularly in reading. However, the school lags behind the high-performing Hyer Elementary and Bradfield Elementary, which are part of the neighboring Highland Park ISD. The school's declining statewide ranking and equity concerns around its disparities in academic achievement across student subgroups warrant further investigation and targeted interventions to ensure all students are receiving the support they need to succeed.

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.
