Summary

George B Dealey Montessori Academy is a public magnet elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the Dallas Independent School District, with 636 students. This exceptional school has consistently been ranked among the top elementary schools in Texas, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years.

George B Dealey Montessori Academy significantly outperforms its district and the state of Texas on standardized test scores across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, the school had 82.81% of 3rd graders proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 47.27% for the district and 52.02% for Texas. The school also excels across various student subgroups, ranking among the top 10 Texas elementary schools for African American and English Language Learner students, and in the top 25-100 for Asian, Hispanic, White, and Multi-racial students. Additionally, the school maintains very low dropout rates, ranging from 0% to 4.1% over the past few years, significantly better than the district average.

When compared to other elementary schools in the immediate vicinity, George B Dealey Montessori Academy stands out as the top performer. Nearby schools like Lee A McShan Junior Elementary, Prestonwood Montessori At E D Walker, and Jack Lowe Senior Elementary have significantly lower test scores and rankings. However, when compared to schools in the nearby Highland Park Independent School District, which is one of the top-performing districts in Texas, the Montessori school still performs very well, but does not quite reach the same level of academic excellence.
