Elisha M Pease Elementary

Summary:

Elisha M Pease Elementary is a public elementary school in Dallas, Texas, serving 817 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Dallas Independent School District, which is ranked 557 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating.

Elisha M Pease Elementary faces significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance, ranking in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools. The school's STAAR test scores are generally below the district and state averages, particularly in science, where only 7.53% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better, compared to 17.71% for the district and 26.29% for the state. The school also has a relatively high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 14.5 to 16.3, compared to nearby schools like William B Miller Elementary and J N Ervin Elementary, which have lower ratios.

However, the school's performance among certain subgroups, such as African American and Hispanic students, as well as English Language Learners and Special Education students, is relatively better, ranking in the top half of their respective subgroups in Texas. This suggests that there may be opportunities for targeted interventions and support to improve the school's overall outcomes. Nearby schools, such as Harry Stone Montessori Academy and J P Starks Elementary, generally outperform Elisha M Pease Elementary on STAAR tests and have higher statewide rankings, indicating that factors beyond just funding may contribute to their better performance.

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.
