Summary

Medlock Youth Village is a small alternative school in Dallas, TX, serving just 88 students in grades 6-12, where every student qualifies for free or reduced lunch, and it operates under the Academy For Academic Excellence district.

The most remarkable thing about Medlock Youth Village is its perfect record of keeping students in school. For the last five years, the school has reported a 0.0% dropout rate, which is an extraordinary achievement compared to nearby schools. For example, Texans Can Academy - Pleasant Grove has a 28.8% dropout rate, and Texans Can Academy - Grant East has a staggering 42.3% rate. Even larger schools like Wilmer-Hutchins High School (3.8%) and H. Grady Spruce High School (4.1%) struggle to match this. The school achieves this by investing heavily in its students, spending $27,276 per student—more than double any nearby school—and maintaining an incredibly low student-teacher ratio of 6.4:1. This means your child would get intensive, individualized attention that is simply not available at most other schools.

However, this focus on keeping students enrolled does not yet translate into high test scores. While overall academic proficiency is low, there are pockets of strength: in the most recent year, Medlock students scored 38.1% proficient in Biology and 42.86% in U.S. History, outperforming the district average and several nearby schools like Wilmer-Hutchins High School (35.48% in U.S. History). The school also shows a promising upward trend in serving specific student groups. For parents, Medlock Youth Village offers a safe, supportive environment where the primary goal is to keep your child in school and engaged, even if academic growth on standardized tests is still a work in progress. It is a place that prioritizes retention and social-emotional support above all else.
