San Jacinto Elementary

Summary:

San Jacinto Elementary is a public elementary school in Dallas, Texas, serving 411 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Dallas Independent School District, which is ranked 557 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $9,995 to $12,909 over the past three years, San Jacinto Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with a 1-star or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's test scores are significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with only 23.81% of 3rd graders proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 41.82% for the district and 48.85% for the state. Additionally, the school has an extremely high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 93.19% to 96.13% over the past three school years.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the Dallas Independent School District, such as Sylvia Mendez Crew Leadership Academy, Thelma Elizabeth Page Richardson Elementary, and Adelfa Botello Callejo Elementary, generally outperform San Jacinto Elementary on test scores and other metrics. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as African American and male students, who rank in the bottom 10-15% of Texas elementary schools in terms of academic proficiency. Despite the challenges, San Jacinto Elementary has not shown significant improvement in its academic performance or SchoolDigger rankings over the past several years.

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.
