Ebby Halliday Elementary

Summary:

Ebby Halliday Elementary is a public elementary school in Dallas, Texas that serves grades PK-5. With a predominantly Hispanic student population (87.3%), the school faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students.

Ebby Halliday Elementary has consistently underperformed compared to the Dallas Independent School District and Texas state averages on STAAR tests across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, only 12.5% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 41.82% for Dallas ISD and 48.85% for Texas. The school has a low statewide ranking, placing between 2703-4194 out of 4647-4675 Texas elementary schools, and has received a 1-2 star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is among the lowest performing schools in the state. While the school's performance varies significantly by student subgroup, it struggles to meet the needs of its most vulnerable populations, including female students, gifted and talented students, and students with special needs.

When compared to nearby schools in the Dallas ISD, such as B.H. Macon Elementary and Julius Dorsey Leadership Academy, Ebby Halliday Elementary performs similarly or slightly worse on most academic metrics. Despite increased per-student spending and a relatively low student-teacher ratio, the school has not seen significant improvements in student outcomes, suggesting that targeted interventions and support may be needed to address the complex needs of its high-poverty, predominantly minority student population.

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.
