Summary

Leslie A Stemmons Elementary is a public elementary school in Dallas, Texas, serving 603 students in grades PK-5. 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.

Overall, Leslie A Stemmons Elementary faces significant challenges in academic performance, particularly in core subject areas and across different student subgroups. The school's STAAR test scores are generally below the Dallas ISD and Texas state averages, with only 30.77% of 3rd-grade students proficient in reading, compared to 47.27% for Dallas ISD and 52.02% for Texas. The school's performance is especially low in 5th-grade science, with only 11.11% of students proficient or better, compared to 22.94% for Dallas ISD and 29.57% for Texas.
