Dulles Elementary

Summary:

Dulles Elementary is a public elementary school in Sugar Land, Texas, serving 645 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Fort Bend Independent School District, which is ranked 356 out of 968 districts in the state.

Dulles Elementary faces significant challenges in academic performance, particularly for its Hispanic, English Language Learner (ELL), and low-socioeconomic status student populations. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools, with STAAR (State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness) proficiency rates that are significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 38.74% of 3rd-grade students at Dulles Elementary were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 56% for the district and 48.85% for the state. The school's higher spending per student of $10,226, compared to the district average of $9,866, has not translated into improved student outcomes.

Interestingly, Dulles Elementary's academic performance lags behind that of nearby schools within the same district, such as Highlands Elementary and Lexington Creek Elementary, which have higher STAAR proficiency rates and statewide rankings. Additionally, Dulles Elementary's Gifted and Talented program has performed well, suggesting the school may have the capacity to support high-achieving students, but struggles to provide effective instruction for the broader student population. The school's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past 10 years, indicating that it is falling behind its peers and may need to implement significant interventions to improve student 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.
