Summary:
The 75051 zip code area of Grand Prairie, Texas is home to 14 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 10 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative school. This diverse set of institutions serves a student population that is predominantly Hispanic and African American, with a significant percentage of economically disadvantaged students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
Among the standout schools in the area are Grand Prairie Collegiate Institute, a public charter high school that ranks 41st out of 1,987 Texas high schools and boasts a 100% four-year graduation rate and 0% dropout rate. Another high-performing school is Ywla At Bill Arnold, a public high school that ranks 847th out of 1,987 Texas high schools and also has a 100% four-year graduation rate and a low 0.3% dropout rate. These two schools demonstrate that with the right resources and approach, high-performing institutions can be established even in economically challenged areas.
In contrast, some of the other schools in the 75051 zip code area, such as Advantage Academy, the alternative school, and several of the elementary schools, struggle to meet state academic standards, with proficiency rates often less than half the state averages. This wide range of performance highlights the need to address socioeconomic factors, promote school choice, and share best practices to drive improvement across the district and ensure all students have access to a quality education.
