Thurgood Marshall Elementary

Public Grades

Summary

Thurgood Marshall Elementary is a public elementary school in Dallas, Texas, serving 514 students in grades PK-6 as part of the Richardson Independent School District (ISD). While the school has a significantly higher percentage of African American students compared to nearby schools, it consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools academically and faces challenges with its English Language Learner and Special Education populations.

Thurgood Marshall Elementary has an extremely high percentage of students (over 95%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. The school also spends significantly more per student ($13,449 in 2020-2021) compared to nearby schools, which range from $9,826 to $11,909 per student. However, this additional funding has not translated to improved academic performance, as Thurgood Marshall Elementary's STAAR test scores are significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subjects.

In contrast, nearby schools such as Wallace Elementary, Merriman Park Elementary, and Moss Haven Elementary have significantly higher academic performance and lower percentages of economically disadvantaged students, suggesting that the challenges faced by Thurgood Marshall Elementary may be unique to the school and its student population.
