Dallas County Juvenile Justice

Summary:

Dallas County Juvenile Justice is a public charter high school serving grades 5-12 in Dallas, Texas, with a small student population of 238. The school is part of the Academy for Academic Excellence district, which is ranked 955 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Dallas County Juvenile Justice consistently ranks in the bottom 5-10% of Texas high schools, with extremely low academic performance, dismal graduation rates, and high dropout rates. The school's student population is 100% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a very low socioeconomic status, and the student body is predominantly minority, with over 90% of students being African American or Hispanic. Proficiency rates on STAAR assessments are extremely low across all grade levels and subject areas, with most scores ranging from 0-10% proficient. Despite a relatively low student-teacher ratio of around 7:1 and high per-student spending of over $22,000, the school's academic outcomes are significantly worse than nearby schools like Texans Can Academy - Oak Cliff, W.H. Adamson High School, Uplift Heights Preparatory High School, and Sunset High School.

The combination of a highly disadvantaged student population, low funding, and the school's focus on serving juvenile justice-involved students likely contribute to the extremely poor academic outcomes. While the school's role in providing educational opportunities to this vulnerable population is important, the data suggests that more targeted interventions and support may be needed to help these students succeed.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
