Summary

Prestonwood Elementary is a public elementary school in Dallas, Texas, serving 472 students in grades PK-6 as part of the Richardson Independent School District (ISD). The school consistently performs above the district and state averages on STAAR tests, ranking among the top 20% of Texas elementary schools with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Prestonwood Elementary's academic performance is particularly strong, with 3rd grade reading proficiency at 70.69% in the 2024-2025 school year, compared to 54.96% for Richardson ISD and 52.02% for Texas. The school's diverse student population includes a significant percentage of White, African American, and Hispanic students, as well as a notable English Language Learner population. Despite serving a relatively low percentage of economically disadvantaged students, the school's performance for certain subgroups, such as Hispanic and English Language Learner students, suggests an opportunity for improvement.

While Prestonwood Elementary is a high-performing school, it is surrounded by several other top-ranked elementary schools within the Richardson ISD, such as Arapaho Classical Magnet, Mohawk Elementary, and Brentfield Elementary, which consistently outperform Prestonwood in academic metrics. This suggests that while Prestonwood is a strong school, there is room for continued focus on academic excellence to keep pace with the high-performing schools in the district.
