C F Carr Elementary

Summary:

C F Carr Elementary is a public elementary school in Dallas, Texas, serving 281 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Dallas Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 557 out of 968 districts in the state.

C F Carr Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools, with significantly lower academic performance on STAAR tests compared to state and district averages. For example, in 2023-2024, the percentage of students proficient or better in STAAR Reading ranged from 33.33% to 51.02%, while the state averages were 48.85% to 54.45%. In STAAR Mathematics, the proficiency rates at C F Carr Elementary ranged from 18.42% to 34.48%, compared to the state averages of 40.86% to 48.96%. The school's performance on STAAR Science for 5th grade (13.79% proficient) is also well below the state average of 26.29%. Interestingly, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with the school ranking in the top 3 stars out of 5 for Hispanic and English Language Learner students, but only 1-2 stars for other subgroups, such as African American, male, and gifted and talented students.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Louise Wolff Kahn Elementary, Stevens Park Elementary, and Eladio R Martinez Learning Center, C F Carr Elementary generally performs worse on STAAR tests, with lower proficiency rates and lower statewide rankings. These nearby schools also have a more diverse student population, with a higher percentage of Hispanic students and lower percentages of African American students compared to C F Carr Elementary. While C F Carr Elementary has a relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio, these resources do not seem to be the primary driver of the school's performance, suggesting that other factors, such as instructional practices, curriculum, and school leadership, may be more influential.

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.
