Spring Creek Elementary

Summary:

Spring Creek Elementary is a public elementary school in Dallas, Texas, serving 414 students in grades PK-6 and part of the Richardson Independent School District (ISD).

Spring Creek Elementary is a high-performing school, consistently ranking among the top 10% of Texas elementary schools over the past 8 years and maintaining a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in STAAR Reading and Mathematics significantly outperform the district and state averages. While Spring Creek has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with 41.79% non-White students, it excels in academic performance for its Gifted and Talented and Special Education students, ranking in the top 1% of Texas elementary schools in these categories. However, the school's performance for its English Language Learner and Low Socioeconomic Status student groups has been more variable.

Compared to nearby schools, Brentfield Elementary is another high-performing school in the district, while Risd Academy has significantly lower academic performance. The racial makeup of these nearby schools varies, with Brentfield and Mohawk Elementary having a higher percentage of White students, and Dover Elementary and Risd Academy having a majority Hispanic student population. Spring Creek's higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio may contribute to its strong academic performance, though some nearby high-performing schools have lower spending and higher ratios.

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.

Open Quote Spring Creek Elementary is an excellent school with great teachers and a staff who genuinely care about the students and their academic success. The school is small (only two classes per grade), as is the teacher to student ratio, so the kids get extra attention in the class room. Spring Creek has an many extra curricular activities including an award winning chess club, a strong music and arts program, as well as many opportunities for student leadership. Spring Creek has a very active PTA and many "family" oriented events each year including 'Spring Fling', 'Multi Cultural Night', and RHS Homecoming Parade Float Participation (built each year by THE SUPER DADS CLUB). This school is one that I am proud to send my kids to every day. I know that they are in a environment that is nurturing and safe, but above all, fosters learning and creativity. Close Quote

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.
