Hyer Elementary

Summary:

Hyer Elementary is a highly-rated public elementary school in Dallas, Texas that serves 486 students from pre-kindergarten to 4th grade, and is part of the Highland Park Independent School District (HPISD), which is ranked 2nd out of 968 school districts in Texas.

Hyer Elementary consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Texas, with students performing exceptionally well on the STAAR exams, with proficiency rates significantly higher than the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. The school has a predominantly white student population, with over 80% of students identifying as white, and a relatively low percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with only around 0.6% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Hyer Elementary excels in the performance of various student subgroups, including female students, male students, Asian students, white students, and students in the special education program.

Compared to nearby schools in the HPISD, such as Bradfield Elementary, Armstrong Elementary, and University Park Elementary, Hyer Elementary's academic performance is consistently superior. However, the school's lack of socioeconomic diversity and the relatively low performance of its "at-risk" student population may raise concerns about equity and access to high-quality education for all students in the district.

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.
