Cesar Chavez Learning Center

Summary:

Cesar Chavez Learning Center is an elementary school in Dallas, Texas that serves 558 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.

Cesar Chavez Learning Center faces significant academic challenges, consistently performing below district and state averages on STAAR assessments. Only 19.12% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 41.82% for the district and 48.85% for the state. The school struggles to support certain student subgroups, ranking in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools for African American, male, special education, and low socioeconomic status students. However, the school performs relatively better for English Language Learners. With 95-96% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, Cesar Chavez has an extremely high percentage of students from low-income families.

Cesar Chavez Learning Center's performance lags behind many nearby schools, including Downtown Montessori At Ida B Wells Academy, Solar Prep For Boys At John F Kennedy, and Solar Preparatory School For Girls At Bonham, all of which are part of the Dallas ISD and demonstrate significantly higher academic achievement. The stark disparities in performance between student subgroups at Cesar Chavez suggest potential equity issues, and the high poverty rates and increased per-student spending may indicate a need for additional resources and targeted interventions to support student learning.

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.
