Summary

San Jacinto Elementary is a public elementary school in Dallas, Texas, serving 429 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Dallas Independent School District (ISD).

San Jacinto Elementary has consistently underperformed compared to the Dallas ISD and Texas state averages on STAAR (State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness) tests, with particularly low proficiency in science. The school also has significant achievement gaps between different student subgroups, such as female and male students, as well as African American students and English Language Learners performing significantly below their peers. With 92-96% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, San Jacinto Elementary serves a high concentration of economically disadvantaged students.

While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, this does not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes. Nearby schools serving similar student populations, such as Thelma Elizabeth Page Richardson Elementary, Adelfa Botello Callejo Elementary, and Nathaniel Hawthorne Elementary, generally outperform San Jacinto Elementary in test scores and student group performance. Additionally, some nearby charter schools, like Buckner Preparatory, Inspired Vision Academy Elementary, and Nova Academy, also have lower test scores and higher percentages of economically disadvantaged students compared to the state averages, but they often outperform San Jacinto Elementary and the other nearby traditional public schools.
