Summary

Eladio R Martinez Learning Center is a PK-6 elementary school in the Dallas Independent School District (Isd), serving 547 students in a high-poverty area where over 99% qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school has a favorable student-teacher ratio of 14.9:1 and spends slightly above the district average per student, but its overall state ranking has declined to the 39th percentile in recent years.

A standout strength is the school's bilingual program, with 3rd graders scoring 45.45% proficient on the Spanish STAAR reading test in 2025-2026—significantly outperforming the district (38.83%) and nearly doubling the state average (28.3%). The school also shows a remarkable recent turnaround for Special Education students, jumping from the bottom 19% of the state in 2023-2024 to the top 25% (75th percentile) the following year. Additionally, 3rd grade math consistently beats district and state averages, with 47.27% proficient in 2025-2026. Compared to nearby schools like Gabe P Allen New Technical Academy (bottom 9% of the state) and Stevens Park Elementary (bottom 20%), Martinez serves as a relative "oasis" of stability in a challenging local educational landscape.

However, the school faces a critical "5th grade slump," with only 21.95% of 5th graders proficient in math and 14.1% in science in 2024-2025, suggesting difficulty maintaining early-grade momentum in STEM subjects. Subgroup performance is volatile—English Language Learners dropped from the 83rd percentile in 2022-2023 to the 36th percentile in 2024-2025. A new nearby competitor, Dr Elba And Domingo Garcia West Dallas Stem School (78th percentile), may draw higher-performing students as it expands. Despite recent dips, Martinez has shown it can perform at higher levels (68th percentile in 2016-2017), indicating potential for recovery if it stabilizes subgroup support and addresses upper-grade weaknesses.
