Summary:
The 75209 zip code area of Dallas, Texas is home to 3 schools - 1 elementary school and 2 middle schools - all part of the Dallas Independent School District (ISD). While the district as a whole is ranked 557 out of 968 in the state, two standout middle schools in this area, Henry W Longfellow Career Exploration Academy and Sudie L Williams Talented And Gifted Academy, have consistently ranked among the top 5 middle schools in Texas over the past 3 years.
Both Longfellow and Sudie L Williams have exceptional academic performance, with 96-100% of students proficient or better in reading and 61-99% proficient or better in math across grade levels. In contrast, the elementary school, K B Polk Center For Academically Talented & Gifted, has more mixed test scores, with some grade levels performing well above the district and state averages, while others fall below. The racial makeup of the schools also varies, with Longfellow and Polk having majority Hispanic student populations, while Sudie L Williams has a majority White student population.
Interestingly, the spending per student and student-teacher ratios do not appear to directly correlate with the schools' academic performance. The elementary school, Polk, has the highest spending per student but the lowest student-teacher ratio, yet does not match the exceptional results of the two middle schools. Overall, the data highlights the presence of two high-performing middle schools in the 75209 zip code area that are outpacing both the district and state on key academic metrics, providing valuable educational opportunities for families in this community.
