Summary

San Jacinto Elementary in Dallas, TX, is a PK-5 public school in the Dallas Independent School District (Isd) serving 437 students in a high-poverty area where over 96% qualify for free or reduced lunch. This school has achieved one of the most dramatic turnarounds in the area, jumping from a 1-star, bottom-20th-percentile ranking just four years ago to a 4-star, 74th-percentile ranking statewide in the 2025-2026 school year, making it a standout example of effective improvement.

The most impressive metric is San Jacinto’s exceptional performance with students from low socio-economic backgrounds, ranking in the 93rd percentile statewide for this subgroup and earning a 5-star rating. This far exceeds nearby schools like Thelma Elizabeth Page Richardson Elementary (0.76 miles away), which only reached the 54th percentile in 2025-2026, and Adelfa Botello Callejo Elementary (0.97 miles away), which has stagnated in the 27th-33rd percentile range. The school also excels in supporting Special Education students, consistently earning a 4-star rating for three consecutive years and ranking in the 85th percentile. Additionally, its bilingual program is a clear strength, with 5th graders scoring 61.9% proficient on the Spanish Reading STAAR, far above the district (50.59%) and state (34.82%) averages.

While San Jacinto has seen strong gains in upper elementary math—5th-grade math scores (61.36% proficient) outpacing both the district (47.72%) and state (47.38%)—science remains an area for growth, with only 25% proficiency in 2024-2025. Compared to nearby schools like Buckner Preparatory (0.99 miles away, a charter school ranking in the 23rd percentile), San Jacinto’s success is clearly tied to its specific educational practices rather than its student demographics. This school is a powerful example of how targeted interventions and strong leadership can transform outcomes for all students.
