Summary:
The 75219 zip code area of Dallas, Texas is home to 3 schools - 2 elementary schools and 1 middle school - all part of the Dallas Independent School District (ISD). While the schools serve diverse, economically disadvantaged student populations, their academic performance varies significantly.
The standout school in this area is Personalized Learning Preparatory At Sam Houston, an elementary school that has consistently ranked among the top 1,300 in Texas. Its students outperform the district and state averages on STAAR tests, with over 50% proficient in reading and 65% in math. In contrast, Esperanza Medrano Elementary struggles academically, ranking in the bottom 10% of Texas elementary schools. The middle school, Dallas Hybrid Preparatory At Stephen J Hay, has shown more promising results, earning a 4-star rating and outperforming the district and state on most STAAR tests, particularly in reading.
Across the 3 schools, student demographics are diverse, with Hispanic students making up the largest racial group. Free and reduced-price lunch rates are high, ranging from 62-89%, indicating these schools serve predominantly economically disadvantaged populations. Spending per student and student-teacher ratios vary, but are generally low, suggesting the district is investing in these schools. However, the wide performance gaps imply that factors beyond just resources and class size are contributing to the differences in academic achievement.
