Dallas ISD academic profile

DFW school districts rank: 76

Academic performance score: 6

Texas Education Agency accountability grade: B

The ranking methodology used to identify school districts with best academic performance is presented on this 2019 best DFW school districts rankings page. The academic performance score provides a quick way to determine approximately where a school district's or school's student academic performance ranks among the performance of students in other Texas districts and schools. School districts and campuses with combined State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR) and college readiness indexes ranked in the top ten percent of Texas school districts and schools are awarded an academic performance score of 10, districts and schools with combined academic performance indexes in the ninth decile receive a score of 9, and so on.

The Dallas Independent School District operates 150 elementary schools, 40 middle schools, and 37 high schools. These 227 schools are attended by about 156,700 students who live in Dallas, Addison, Balch Springs, Carrollton, Cockrell Hill, Farmers Branch, Garland, Highland Park, Hutchins, Mesquite, Seagoville and Wilmer.

Dallas ISD's 2018 TEA STAAR component scaled score is 74. As is further explained in the Texas Education Agency 2018 Accountability Manual, the STAAR scaled score is calculated by first adding equal weightings of the percentage of assessments on which students’ performance mastered grade level, met grade level and approached grade level, dividing the sum by 3 and rounding it to the nearest whole percentage. This raw STAAR raw component score is then adjusted or “scaled” by using a conversion table to align accountability letter grades and scores of Texas public school districts and campuses.

As depicted in the 2018 TEA STAARS scores graph (right) and shown in the Dallas ISD schools table (below), thirty Dallas ISD campuses attained TEA STAAR scaled scores between 90 and 100, twenty-seven campuses STAAR scores were between 80 and 89, ninety-four had scores between 70 and 79, forty-eight scored between 60 and 69, twenty-seven had scores between 50 and 59, and one Dallas ISD campuses had a STAAR scaled score between 40 and 49.

The 2018 accountability rating for all Dallas ISD schools, except three, is Met Standard, the TEA's highest campus rating. Atwell Law Academy, Holmes Classical Academy and Pease Elementary School received Improvement Required ratings. Additional academic performance, student enrollment, teacher staffing and other information about these schools is available by clicking on selected campus names.
