Leslie A Stemmons Elementary

Summary:

Leslie A Stemmons Elementary is a public elementary school in Dallas, Texas, serving 597 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Dallas Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 557 out of 968 districts in Texas.

While Leslie A Stemmons Elementary has a significantly higher Hispanic student population (91.62%) compared to nearby schools, it has lower proficiency rates in STAAR Reading and Mathematics, particularly in 3rd and 4th grade. However, the school's 5th grade STAAR Reading proficiency rate (48.33%) was higher than the Dallas ISD (49.81%) and closer to the state average (53.96%). Interestingly, the school's STAAR Spanish Reading proficiency rates for 3rd-5th grades were significantly higher than the Dallas ISD and state averages, indicating that it may be effectively serving its Spanish-speaking student population.

The school ranks higher in the state for Dallas ISD English Language Learner (ELL) students, but lower for Special Education students. Notably, the school performed well for Low Socioeconomic Status (SES) students, ranking in the top 30% of Texas elementary schools in 2022-2023. With a higher per-student spending of $11,914 in 2020-2021 and a relatively low student-teacher ratio, the school's resource allocation may be a contributing factor to its performance, particularly in areas where it outperforms the district and state averages. When compared to nearby schools, such as Mary McLeod Bethune Elementary, Leslie A Stemmons Elementary generally performs at similar or slightly lower levels on STAAR assessments, suggesting potential areas for improvement.

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.
