Summary

Felix G Botello Personalized Learning Elementary is a PK-5 school in the Oak Cliff area of Dallas, TX, serving 581 students as part of the Dallas Independent School District (Isd).

This school stands out for its remarkable academic growth, especially in 5th-grade math, where 79% of students were proficient—a full 32 percentage points above the state average. The school has shown a strong upward trend over the past decade, now ranking in the 70th percentile statewide. It serves a high-needs population, with over 94% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, yet it excels at closing achievement gaps. Botello ranks in the 87th percentile for supporting low-income students and the 80th percentile for both English Language Learners and Special Education students. This consistent outperformance of the district average in nearly every grade and subject makes it a beacon in its neighborhood, especially when compared to nearby schools like Cedar Crest Elementary (50th percentile) and Harrell Budd Elementary (10th percentile), which serve similar populations but achieve far lower results.

The school’s "Personalized Learning" model appears to be working well, driving a notable "5th-grade spike" where students dramatically outperform their younger peers in both reading and math. However, there is one area for growth: the school ranks in only the 42nd percentile for Gifted and Talented students, suggesting that while it excels at supporting struggling learners, it may need to provide more enrichment for its highest achievers. Overall, Botello is a high-performing school that proves demographics do not determine destiny, making it a strong choice for families in the area.
