Adelfa Botello Callejo Elementary

Summary:

Adelfa Botello Callejo Elementary is a public elementary school in Dallas, Texas, serving 542 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.

Adelfa Botello Callejo Elementary has consistently underperformed compared to the Dallas ISD and Texas state averages on STAAR (State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness) tests across various grade levels and subjects. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in STAAR Reading and Mathematics were significantly lower than the district and state averages, with the largest gaps in 3rd grade Reading (18.42% vs. 41.82% and 48.85%) and 3rd grade Mathematics (12.82% vs. 35.08% and 40.86%). The school's performance on STAAR Spanish assessments is also generally lower than the district and state averages. As a result, Adelfa Botello Callejo Elementary has a low statewide ranking, ranging from 1 to 3 stars out of 5 on the SchoolDigger scale over the past several years, placing it in the bottom 25% of Texas elementary schools.

While the school has relatively high per-student spending and a low student-teacher ratio compared to nearby schools like Buckner Terrace Montessori, Thelma Elizabeth Page Richardson Elementary, and Annie Webb Blanton Elementary, these factors alone do not appear to be driving the school's academic outcomes. The school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with Hispanic and English Language Learner (ELL) students performing better than the overall school averages, while African American, Special Education, and Gifted and Talented students perform significantly lower than the state averages for those subgroups.

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.
