Summary

St Anthony Academy is a private Catholic elementary school in Dallas, TX (75215) serving 202 students in grades K-5, located in a predominantly low-income community where over 91% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. This small school has achieved a remarkable turnaround, climbing from the 18th percentile statewide in 2021-2022 to its highest-ever ranking at the 76th percentile (4 stars) in the 2025-2026 school year, driven by exceptional mathematics performance that far exceeds nearby public schools.

The school's standout strength is mathematics: in 2025-2026, 94.29% of 3rd graders and 71.43% of 4th graders were proficient, dramatically higher than the state average (44.33% and 49.28%) and every nearby school, including Ascher Silberstein Elementary (69.23% in 3rd grade math). St. Anthony Academy is particularly effective for low-income and African American students, ranking in the 89th and 90th percentiles statewide for these groups—a stark contrast to neighboring schools like Oran M Roberts Elementary and Uplift Atlas Prep, which have remained in the bottom 20-30% of schools. However, the school has a persistent weakness in 5th grade science, with only 3.23% proficiency compared to the state average of 29.57%, and its Gifted and Talented program ranks in the bottom 4th percentile, suggesting the academic model may not challenge the highest achievers.

St. Anthony Academy achieves these results with relatively modest per-student spending of $11,814, making it more efficient than higher-spending neighbors like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Arts Academy ($16,461 per student, 54th percentile) and Cedar Crest Elementary ($15,777 per student, 50th percentile). Its closest academic competitor is Charles Rice Learning Center (0.46 miles away, 70th percentile), which offers more balanced reading and math scores, while St. Anthony's excellence is heavily math-focused. Parents should also note that performance by gender has been volatile—female students outperformed males by 38 percentile points in 2024-2025—so monitoring equity across all students remains important.
