Louise Wolff Kahn Elementary

Summary:

Louise Wolff Kahn Elementary is a public elementary school in Dallas, Texas, serving 531 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Dallas Independent School District, which is ranked 557 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite serving a predominantly Hispanic (95.86%) and high-poverty student population, Louise Wolff Kahn Elementary has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger for several years, with its students generally outperforming the district and state averages in reading proficiency, particularly in 5th grade. The school also appears to be effective in supporting its Hispanic and English Language Learner (ELL) students, who perform significantly better than their peers at the district and state levels. However, the school struggles to meet the needs of its Special Education and Gifted/Talented students, who lag behind their counterparts at other Texas elementary schools.

The surrounding schools in the immediate vicinity of Louise Wolff Kahn Elementary, such as Jesus Moroles Expressive Arts Vanguard, Anson Jones Elementary, and Bishop Arts STEAM Academy, also serve predominantly Hispanic, high-poverty student populations, suggesting that the school is part of a broader community facing similar socioeconomic challenges.

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.
