Maple Lawn Elementary

Summary:

Maple Lawn Elementary is a public elementary school in Dallas, Texas, serving 502 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Dallas Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 557 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Maple Lawn Elementary faces significant challenges, with a student population that is 36.45% African American, 58.37% Hispanic, and only 2.39% White. The school has consistently underperformed compared to state and district averages on STAAR tests, particularly for African American and Gifted and Talented students. However, the school's English Language Learner (ELL) students have performed exceptionally well, ranking in the top 5% of Texas elementary schools in this category. The school's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past decade, and it has a very high percentage of students from low-income families, with over 95% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

When compared to nearby schools, Maple Lawn Elementary appears to be underperforming. For example, Montessori Academy at Onesimo Hernandez Elementary, less than a mile away, has consistently outperformed Maple Lawn on STAAR tests and has a higher statewide ranking. The school's challenges, including resource constraints and achievement gaps for certain student subgroups, suggest a need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.

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.
