East Dallas schools on this list received 10 ‘A’s, 16 ‘B’s, five ‘C’s, one ‘D’ and no ‘F’s. Again, ‘B’ was the most common grade compared to the last time scores were released, but the number of ‘A’s seems to have increased while ‘C’s and ‘D’s have decreased.Texas Education Agency’s 2025 A-F Accountability Ratings were calculated using data from 2024-25.
Performance on STAAR tests makes a significant impact on the grades for school districts and campuses, but readiness for career, college or military is also a factor. The scores are supposed to represent student achievement, progress and closing the gaps between disadvantaged and non-disadvantaged student groups.
More than 70% of Dallas ISD schools earned an ‘A’ or ‘B.’
“While there is still work to be done, these results are a clear sign that we are moving in the right direction, and we will not stop until every school is achieving at a high level. It’s what our kids deserve, and it’s the legacy we are committed to build for every student,” Superintendent Stephanie S. Elizalde said in a press release.
Want to get more involved with our local schools?
Keep up with the Dallas ISD Board of Trustees by attending board meetings at 6 p.m. on the fourth Thursday of each month at 5151 Samuell Blvd. to address issues and make statements to the trustees.
On the board, Sarah Weinberg represents District 2 (includes Lakewood Elementary, Woodrow Wilson High School and other campuses between US-75 and White Rock Lake) and Dan Micciche is the trustee for District 3 (Bryan Adams High School Leadership Academy and several campuses east of the lake).
In addition, Board President Joe Carreón’s District 8 includes a handful of schools in our neighborhood, particularly around Old East Dallas (Innovation, Design, Entrepreneurship Academy at James W. Fannin and both Solar Preparatory Schools for Boys and Girls). A few schools just north of I-30 (Personalized Learning Preparatory at J.W. Ray Learning Center, Eduardo Mata Montessori and Harold W. Lang Sr. Middle School) are in District 9, led by First Vice President Ed Turner.
