Jerry R Junkins Elementary

Summary:

Jerry R Junkins Elementary is a public elementary school in Carrollton, Texas, serving 566 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Dallas Independent School District. The school has a diverse student population, with a majority of Hispanic students and significant populations of African American and White students.

One of Jerry R Junkins Elementary's key strengths is its exceptional performance with English Language Learners (ELLs) and Hispanic students. The school consistently ranks in the top 5-10% of Texas elementary schools for ELL student performance on STAAR tests, and Hispanic students at the school perform significantly better than the district and state averages. However, the school struggles to support its special education and gifted and talented populations, ranking in the bottom 50% and bottom 20% of Texas elementary schools in these categories, respectively.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Country Place Elementary, Jerry R Junkins Elementary generally performs on par or slightly better in reading and math proficiency. But the school's overall academic performance is below the state average, likely due to the high percentage of students (over 70%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges. Addressing these challenges and continuing to support the school's strengths in ELL and Hispanic student performance could help Jerry R Junkins Elementary improve its overall academic outcomes.

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.
