Summary:
The 75246 zip code area of Dallas, Texas is home to two schools: Ignacio Zaragoza Elementary, a traditional public elementary school serving grades PK-5, and Ilearn Virtual Academy at Dallas Independent School District (ISD), a public virtual middle school serving grades 3-8. Both schools serve a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, with over 92% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
Ignacio Zaragoza Elementary has consistently lower academic performance on STAAR tests compared to the Dallas ISD and Texas state averages, despite spending $15,013 per student, which is higher than the typical district spending. In contrast, Ilearn Virtual Academy has a more varied academic performance, with some grade levels and subjects exceeding the district and state averages, while others fall behind.
The presence of a virtual middle school, Ilearn Virtual Academy, in the 75246 zip code suggests a demand for alternative educational models, potentially driven by factors such as the COVID-19 pandemic or specific community needs. The contrasting academic performance between the two schools and the implications of virtual learning warrant further investigation to identify strategies that can effectively support student success in this area.
