Dallas County School For Accelerated Learning

Summary:

Dallas County School For Accelerated Learning is a public high school serving grades 6-12 in the Irving Independent School District, with a relatively small student population of 505 students. The school has faced some academic challenges, with significantly lower test scores compared to state and district averages, as well as a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite these challenges, the school has maintained an impressive 0.0% dropout rate for the past 5 school years, which is significantly lower than the state and district averages. However, when compared to nearby schools like W.H. Adamson High School and Sunset High School, both within a few miles of Dallas County School For Accelerated Learning, it becomes clear that the school is underperforming academically, with much higher test scores and graduation rates at these neighboring institutions.

While the school's current struggles are evident, the low dropout rates suggest that there may be opportunities for improvement with the right strategies and interventions. With targeted support and resources, the Dallas County School For Accelerated Learning could potentially help its students achieve greater academic success and overcome the challenges it currently faces.

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.
