John F Peeler Elementary

Summary:

John F Peeler Elementary is a public elementary school in Dallas, Texas, serving 336 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Dallas Independent School District (ISD).

While John F Peeler Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (95.83%) compared to nearby schools, it consistently ranks in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, lower than the 3-4 star ratings of schools like Winnetka Elementary and Margaret B Henderson Elementary. The school performs relatively well for English Language Learner students but struggles with Special Education and Gifted and Talented student performance. Academically, John F Peeler lags behind the district and state averages in STAAR Reading, Math, and Science assessments, particularly in 5th grade Science.

Despite these challenges, John F Peeler Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.7, suggesting more resources devoted to smaller class sizes. The school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (over 90%) indicates a high-poverty student population, and the school's per-student spending has increased in recent years. Interestingly, the nearby charter schools perform significantly worse than John F Peeler Elementary, with very low STAAR proficiency rates, rankings, and ratings.

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.
