Summary:
The 76006 zip code area is home to 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 alternative school, serving a predominantly minority and economically disadvantaged student population. While the schools face significant challenges, with some struggling to meet state standards, a few standout institutions like Ellis Elementary and Nichols J.H. are able to achieve higher proficiency rates in certain subject areas, suggesting the potential for improvement across the district.
The data reveals large disparities in academic performance, with proficiency rates on state assessments ranging from as low as 16.67% at Peach Elementary to as high as 48.65% at Ellis Elementary on the 3rd grade reading test. Schools with the highest percentages of economically disadvantaged students, such as Peach Elementary and Sherrod Elementary, tend to have the lowest test scores across the board, highlighting the significant challenges faced by these institutions.
Despite the overall low performance, the data also reveals some bright spots, such as the alternative Trinity Leadership school, which has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 92.6% and a low dropout rate of 0.4%, and Nichols J.H., which has a high proficiency rate of 66% on the Algebra I EOC exam, significantly outperforming the Arlington Independent School District (Isd) and state averages. Understanding the unique challenges and strengths of each school community will be crucial in driving improvement across the Texas Leadership Public Schools district.
