Dr Linda Henrie Elementary

Summary:

Dr Linda Henrie Elementary is a public elementary school in Dallas, Texas, serving 851 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Mesquite Independent School District, which is ranked 601 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating.

Despite being part of the Mesquite ISD, Dr Linda Henrie Elementary has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state averages on STAAR tests across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in STAAR Reading for 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades were 40%, 41.9%, and 42%, respectively, compared to the district's 40.57% and the state's 48.85%, 50.66%, and 53.96%. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with English Language Learners and Special Education students performing notably lower than the overall student population. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 92.13% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Interestingly, the nearby schools within the Mesquite ISD, such as Smith Elementary, Thompson Elementary, and Achziger Elementary, also demonstrate similar academic performance challenges, with proficiency rates below the district and state averages. However, some schools, like Gray Elementary and Gentry Elementary, have shown relatively stronger academic performance, suggesting that there may be opportunities for Dr Linda Henrie Elementary to learn from their practices.

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.
