Stults Road Elementary

Summary:

Stults Road Elementary is a public elementary school in Dallas, Texas, serving 569 students in grades PK-6 as part of the Richardson Independent School District (ISD). The school faces significant challenges, with a diverse student population, low academic performance, and high rates of economic disadvantage.

Stults Road Elementary has a much higher percentage of African American (40.95%) and Hispanic (40.42%) students compared to nearby schools like Thurgood Marshall Elementary and Forest Lane Academy, which tend to have more White students. The school consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with STAAR test scores well below district and state averages. Around 80% of Stults Road students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating high levels of economic disadvantage. Despite spending significantly more per student ($10,696) and having a relatively low student-teacher ratio, the school has not shown meaningful improvement over time.

The combination of low academic performance, racial/ethnic disparities in achievement, and high rates of economic disadvantage at Stults Road Elementary raises concerns about educational equity. Nearby schools with similar demographic profiles, such as Thurgood Marshall Elementary and Forest Lane Academy, perform significantly better on STAAR tests and have higher ratings, suggesting that factors beyond just student demographics may be contributing to Stults Road Elementary's underperformance. More targeted interventions and support may be needed to improve outcomes for all students at the school.

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.
