Frank Guzick Elementary

Summary:

Frank Guzick Elementary is a public elementary school in Dallas, Texas, serving 636 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 and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Frank Guzick Elementary faces significant challenges, with a student population that is predominantly minority (37.11% African American, 59.12% Hispanic) and economically disadvantaged (94.14% to 98.4% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch). The school consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating very low academic performance. Its STAAR test scores are significantly lower than state and district averages, with only 20% of 3rd graders proficient or better in reading, compared to 48.85% statewide and 41.82% for Dallas ISD. The nearby public schools, such as S.S. Conner Elementary and San Jacinto Elementary, also struggle academically, suggesting a broader systemic issue within the district.

In contrast, the charter schools in the area, such as Nova Academy Prichard and Buckner Preparatory, generally outperform Frank Guzick Elementary and other nearby public schools on academic measures, despite serving similar student populations. This suggests that alternative educational models may be more effective in addressing the needs of this community. Overall, Frank Guzick Elementary's declining performance over the past five years is a major concern, and the school faces significant challenges in improving academic outcomes for its students.

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.
