Summary

Ascher Silberstein Elementary is a PK-5 campus in the Dallas Independent School District (Isd) serving 545 students in the 75227 zip code, an area where over 90% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. This school has achieved an impressive turnaround, rising from a 47th percentile ranking in 2021-2022 to its highest-ever 83rd percentile statewide ranking and a 4-star rating in the 2025-2026 school year. This makes it a standout performer in its neighborhood, dramatically outperforming nearby schools like Paul L Dunbar Learning Center (35th percentile), Frank Guzick Elementary (11th percentile), and Adelfa Botello Callejo Elementary (28th percentile).

The school excels in mathematics, with 3rd and 4th graders scoring over 20 percentage points higher than the district average in 2025-2026. It is particularly effective with students who need the most support, ranking in the 95th percentile statewide for low socio-economic status students and the 92nd percentile for Special Education students. The school also shows strong results for its Hispanic and English Language Learner students, ranking in the 93rd and 87th percentiles respectively. Interestingly, the school's Spanish-language STAAR scores are significantly higher than the state average, suggesting a strong bilingual foundation. However, 5th-grade Science remains a relative weakness, and the school struggles to challenge its Gifted and Talented students, who ranked in the 19th percentile.

Ascher Silberstein achieves these results while spending less per student ($11,619) than many lower-performing neighbors, such as Buckner Terrace Montessori ($13,058), indicating efficient resource use and strong instructional leadership. This rapid improvement and consistent success with a high-needs population make it a compelling choice for families in the area. For parents seeking a school that has demonstrated a clear upward trajectory and excels at closing achievement gaps, Ascher Silberstein stands out as a top option within the Dallas Independent School District (Isd).
