Julian T Saldivar Elementary

Summary:

Julian T Saldivar Elementary is a public elementary school in Dallas, Texas, serving 786 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 Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite spending around $11,300 per student, which is higher than the state average, Julian T Saldivar Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools over the past 10 years. The school's performance on STAAR (State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness) tests is significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subjects, with only 6.25% of 3rd graders proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 48.85% statewide and 41.82% for Dallas ISD. The school's performance on STAAR Spanish assessments is also well below state and district averages. Additionally, the school's student-teacher ratio is higher than nearby schools, ranging from 14.5 to 17.1 over the past few years.

When compared to nearby schools within the same district, such as Everette Lee Degolyer Elementary and Obadiah Knight Elementary, Julian T Saldivar Elementary generally performs worse on academic measures, with lower STAAR proficiency rates and lower statewide rankings. This suggests that the school may need to re-evaluate its instructional strategies and resource allocation to better support its diverse student population, particularly English Language Learners and students with special needs, who consistently perform significantly below their peers.

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.
