Summary

L V Stockard Middle is a public school in the Oak Cliff area of Dallas, TX, serving 728 students in grades 6-8 as part of the Dallas Independent School District (Isd). The school has shown remarkable improvement over the past decade, climbing from the 8th percentile statewide in 2016-2017 to the 28th percentile in 2025-2026, with no year-over-year declines since 2020-2021. This upward trend makes it a solid, improving option in a diverse educational landscape, outperforming nearby Boude Storey Middle (3rd percentile) and performing comparably to T W Browne Middle (20th percentile) and Zan Wesley Holmes Junior Middle (26th percentile), though it trails the magnet W E Greiner Exploratory Arts Academy (72nd percentile) and Rosemont Upper (98th percentile).

The school’s standout strength is its exceptional performance in advanced mathematics, with 78.4% of students proficient in Algebra I in 2025-2026—well above the district average of 59.35% and state average of 54.03%. This is a consistent trend, with rates of 60.5% in 2024-2025 and 76.12% in 2023-2024. However, grade-level math tells a different story: only 31% of 6th graders and 30.6% of 8th graders were proficient in 2025-2026, both below state averages. This suggests the school excels at accelerating select students into advanced math while the majority in standard classes struggle. Additionally, L V Stockard provides outstanding support for English Language Learners, ranking in the 76th percentile statewide (4 stars) in 2025-2026, and strong support for Special Education students, ranking in the 63rd percentile (3 stars). The school also maintains a consistently low dropout rate of 1.0% in 2023-2024, significantly lower than the district average of 3.2%.

Despite these strengths, there are areas for concern. Social Studies is a persistent weakness, with only 28.75% of 8th graders proficient in 2025-2026, below both district and state averages. The school also struggles with its Gifted and Talented students, who ranked in the 6th percentile statewide (0 stars) in 2025-2026, indicating that programs may not adequately challenge its highest-achieving learners. This creates a paradox where the school excels with ELL and Special Education populations but underperforms with its gifted cohort. Overall, L V Stockard is a school on a clear upward trajectory, with notable successes in advanced math and subgroup support, but it still faces challenges in grade-level math, social studies, and serving its most advanced students.

Open Quote I had a horrible experience as an ESL student, the directors of this school did not cared for us. All the efforts to make this program better came from Mr. Ramirez (ESL teacher). I felt segregated the only year I was there(thank God it was only one year). Close Quote
