Summary:
The 75232 zip code area of Dallas, Texas is home to 12 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 2 high schools, serving a predominantly minority and economically disadvantaged student population. While some standout schools like Martin Weiss Elementary and Mark Twain School for the Talented and Gifted demonstrate strong academic performance, many other schools in the area struggle, with test scores well below district and state averages.
The data reveals significant performance gaps between the top-performing and lower-performing schools, which appear to be closely linked to the socioeconomic status of the student population. Schools with the highest percentages of economically disadvantaged students, such as Umphrey Lee Elementary and Adelle Turner Elementary, tend to have the lowest test scores, highlighting the need to address the underlying factors contributing to these achievement gaps.
The data also suggests that specialized programs, such as the magnet and charter schools in the area like Judge Louis A. Bedford Junior Law Academy and Wisdom High School, may be providing more opportunities that are contributing to their relatively stronger performance. However, the wide range in student-teacher ratios and per-student spending across the schools suggests potential inequities in resource distribution that may also be impacting student learning outcomes in the 75232 zip code area.
