Summary

Arcadia Park Elementary in Dallas, TX, is a PK-6 campus in the Dallas Independent School District (Isd) serving 568 students in a high-poverty area, where over 95% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. The school has shown a dramatic one-year turnaround, jumping from the 39th percentile (2 stars) in 2024-2025 to the 58th percentile (3 stars) in 2025-2026, marking a 19-point improvement that signals recent instructional shifts are taking hold.

Arcadia Park stands out for its exceptional mathematics performance in upper elementary grades, particularly in 4th, 5th, and 6th grades, where proficiency rates significantly outperform both district and state averages. For example, 4th-grade math proficiency is 68.09% compared to 49.13% district-wide, and this strength contrasts sharply with nearby schools like Gabe P Allen New Technical Academy (31.91%) and Nancy J Cochran Elementary (38.46%). However, the school struggles with reading, where scores consistently lag behind state averages—for instance, 6th-grade reading proficiency is only 43.66% versus the state's 53.52%. The school is exceptionally effective at serving its low-socioeconomic status students, ranking in the 77th percentile statewide for this subgroup, but performs poorly with its Gifted and Talented students, ranking in the 12th percentile, suggesting a need for more enrichment for high-achieving learners.

Compared to the top-performing nearby school, Mary McLeod Bethune Elementary (89th percentile, 4 stars), Arcadia Park is competitive in specific areas like 4th-grade math (68.09% vs. 82.89%) but lacks Bethune's balanced, consistently high performance across all subjects. The school's bilingual program shows mixed results, with 5th-grade Spanish reading proficiency at 58.33% (well above the state average of 34.82%) but 4th-grade Spanish math at only 8.33%, indicating inconsistent instruction quality. Overall, Arcadia Park is a math-focused school with a strong recent trajectory, making it a solid option for families prioritizing mathematics achievement, though reading support and gifted programming remain areas for growth.
