Summary:
Uplift Pinnacle Preparatory Pri is an elementary public charter school in Dallas, Texas, serving 429 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Dallas Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 734 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Uplift Pinnacle Preparatory Pri consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with a ranking between 3,272 and 4,391 out of around 4,500 schools over the past 5 years. The school's performance is significantly below the state and Uplift Education district averages across all grade levels and subject areas, particularly for African American, Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Special Education student subgroups. Despite increased per-student spending, the school's academic outcomes remain poor, suggesting factors beyond just funding may be contributing to the challenges.
In contrast, the nearby Winnetka Elementary, also part of the Dallas ISD, ranks in the top 20% of Texas elementary schools and outperforms the state and district averages in reading, math, and science. Similarly, the nearby Academy of Dallas, another public charter school, performs even worse than Uplift Pinnacle Preparatory Pri, ranking in the bottom 1% of Texas elementary schools. These comparisons suggest that factors beyond just socioeconomic status, which is high at all these schools, are contributing to the disparities in academic performance.
