Lake Dallas Elementary

Summary:

Lake Dallas Elementary is a public elementary school serving 534 students in grades PK-5 in the Lake Dallas Independent School District (ISD) in Texas, with a predominantly Hispanic and White student population.

While the school's academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is generally lower than the district and state averages across various grade levels and subjects, the most concerning issues are the significant achievement gaps between different student subgroups. Lake Dallas Elementary's African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner (ELL) students consistently perform at the bottom, with rankings in the bottom 25-30% of Texas elementary schools, while the school's White and Gifted and Talented students perform relatively better. Additionally, the school's low socioeconomic status students, who make up over 60% of the student population, are in the bottom 20% of Texas elementary schools in terms of STAAR test performance.

Interestingly, nearby schools within the same district, such as Shady Shores Elementary and Corinth Elementary, generally outperform Lake Dallas Elementary on academic measures, with higher STAAR proficiency rates and better overall school rankings. However, these nearby schools also have lower percentages of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a more advantaged student population. The school's performance has also declined over the past several years, with proficiency rates dropping in many grade levels and subjects, and its overall state ranking falling from the top 50% of Texas elementary schools to the bottom 35-40% in recent years.

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.
