Summary:
Dallas Education Service District 327 has one listed school, Dallas City Elementary School, serving prekindergarten through eighth grade and enrolling 156 students. With no other area school to compare, the state is the main benchmark: in 2025–2026, Dallas City’s all-grades ELA result was 3 percentage points below the state, while its math result was 10 points below. The largest current concern is math, where the school’s gap with the state widened from 4 points in 2024–2025 to 10 points in 2025–2026.
There is no top or bottom school within the area because Dallas City is the only listed school; that does not show how it would rank among a wider group of schools. Its grade-level results reveal both strengths and a notable weakness: in 2025–2026, third-grade ELA was 26 points above the state, sixth-grade ELA was 18 points above, and third-grade math was 18 points above. Eighth-grade ELA, by contrast, was 11 points below the state. Eighth-grade science remained slightly above the state, by 1 point, while fifth-grade science in 2024–2025 was 13 points above. These differences show why the all-grades figures do not tell the whole story for every grade.
ELA moved closer to the state over time, while math moved farther away. From 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, Dallas City’s all-grades ELA result rose by 5 points and its shortfall narrowed by 2 points; math fell by 5 points as the state result rose by 1, widening the math gap by 6 points. SchoolDigger’s ranking history improved from the 44th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 84th percentile in 2025–2026, a separate measure that does not mean every subject improved. Context figures include a student–teacher ratio of 8.9 in 2024–2025 and 79% free/reduced lunch eligible that year; chronic absenteeism was 22% in 2025–2026, 1 point below the state.
