Winnetka Elementary

Summary:

Winnetka Elementary is a public elementary school in Dallas, Texas, serving 759 students in grades PK-5. As part of the Dallas Independent School District (ISD), Winnetka Elementary consistently outperforms the district and state averages on STAAR assessments across multiple grade levels and subjects.

Winnetka Elementary's student performance is particularly noteworthy, with proficiency rates in STAAR Reading and Mathematics that significantly exceed the Dallas ISD and Texas state averages. The school's Hispanic and English Language Learner (ELL) students, as well as its low socioeconomic status (SES) and at-risk students, perform exceptionally well, ranking among the top 5-10% of their respective subgroups in Texas. However, the school's gifted and talented students perform relatively lower, ranking in the bottom 50% of their subgroup.

Winnetka Elementary's demographic composition is unique, with a significantly higher Hispanic student population (96.57%) compared to the district and state averages. The school also spends more per student ($10,751 in 2020-2021) and maintains a lower student-teacher ratio (17.2 in 2022-2023) than nearby schools, which may contribute to its exceptional performance. While Winnetka Elementary outperforms other schools in the Dallas ISD, some nearby charter schools, such as Academy of Dallas and Uplift Pinnacle Preparatory, have significantly lower overall performance, highlighting the disparities in educational outcomes within the broader Dallas metropolitan area.

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.
