Summary

Bishop Arts Steam Academy is an elementary school located in Dallas, Texas, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 327 students. The school is part of the Dallas Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 493 out of 961 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bishop Arts Steam Academy generally performs better than the Dallas ISD and Texas state averages in STAAR Reading and Mathematics assessments across grades 3-5. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd grade STAAR Reading proficiency rate is 57.89%, compared to 47.27% for Dallas ISD and 52.02% for Texas. However, the school struggles in STAAR Science, with only 8.33% of 5th graders proficient in 2024-2025, compared to 22.94% for Dallas ISD and 29.57% for Texas. The school performs relatively well for Hispanic students and English Language Learner (ELL) students, but struggles with Gifted and Talented students.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $14,978 in 2020-2021, Bishop Arts Steam Academy has consistently struggled to achieve high performance, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade. When compared to other nearby elementary schools in the Dallas ISD, such as Felix G. Botello Personalized Learning Elementary and Winnetka Elementary, which significantly outperform Bishop Arts Steam Academy, the school may need to focus on addressing the unique needs of its diverse student population and learning from the best practices of its higher-performing counterparts.
