Summary

C F Carr Elementary is a public elementary school in Dallas, Texas, serving 268 students in grades PK-6 and part of the Dallas Independent School District (ISD).

The school has shown mixed performance on STAAR tests, with strong results in 5th grade reading and math but struggles in 4th grade reading and 6th grade math. C F Carr Elementary has performed well for Hispanic students and English Language Learners, ranking in the top quartile of Texas elementary schools in these subgroups. However, the school has struggled with Special Education and Gifted and Talented students, ranking in the bottom quartile. With an extremely high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, the school faces the challenges of serving a high-poverty student population. Despite these challenges, the school has relatively high per-student spending and a decreasing student-teacher ratio, suggesting increased resources that could be leveraged to drive student achievement.

Compared to other nearby schools, C F Carr Elementary's performance has been inconsistent, indicating a need for a more targeted and comprehensive approach to improving student outcomes. By addressing equity gaps and effectively utilizing its available resources, the school has the potential to better support all of its students, including those in underperforming subgroups. As parents consider educational options for their children, it will be important to weigh C F Carr Elementary's unique strengths and challenges against the performance of Stevens Park Elementary, Esperanza Medrano Elementary, and other nearby schools in the Dallas ISD.
