Summary

George Peabody Elementary is a PK-6 school in the Oak Cliff area of Dallas, TX, serving 318 students as part of the Dallas Independent School District (Isd).

Peabody’s most defining strength is its exceptional performance with students from low socio-economic backgrounds, ranking in the 88th percentile statewide for this group in the most recent year. This is a dramatic improvement and far outpaces nearby schools with similar poverty rates, such as Anson Jones Elementary and Stevens Park Elementary, which rank in the 21st and 22nd percentiles overall. The school also shows strong and improving results with its Hispanic and female students. Overall, Peabody jumped from the 40th percentile to the 67th percentile in a single year, the largest one-year improvement among schools within a 1.5-mile radius. This recent surge makes it highly competitive with the area’s top performer, Louise Wolff Kahn Elementary (74th percentile).

However, the school’s performance is not without volatility. While 5th-grade Reading scores soared to 75.76% proficient—well above district and state averages—this was a sharp increase from the previous year, suggesting it may be driven by a strong cohort or a new strategy. Math scores are more consistent and meet or exceed district averages in every grade. The school’s bilingual program shows mixed results, with Spanish-language test scores fluctuating significantly from year to year. Additionally, Peabody’s performance with Gifted and Talented students has been inconsistent, indicating a potential challenge in providing a consistently challenging curriculum for its highest-achieving students, even as it successfully lifts the broader student body.
