Summary

St Anthony School in Dallas, TX, is a small public middle school serving 116 students in grades 6-8, located in a high-poverty area where nearly 88% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. This school stands out for its exceptional reading performance, consistently exceeding state averages—for example, in the 2025-2026 school year, 62.86% of 7th graders and 66.67% of 8th graders were proficient in reading, compared to state averages of 54.04% and 58.69%. However, math scores are critically low, with only 5% of 6th and 7th graders proficient in 2024-2025, far below state averages. This stark contrast between reading and math is a key differentiator from nearby schools.

St Anthony School has maintained a perfect 0.0% dropout rate for five consecutive years, a remarkable achievement compared to its closest neighbor, Billy Earl Dade Middle (0.87 miles away), which had a 4.0% dropout rate. The school also shows strong performance for its African American students, who ranked in the 70th percentile statewide in 2025-2026, far exceeding the school's overall 54th percentile ranking. As a single-school district, St Anthony operates independently from larger systems like Dallas Independent School District (Isd), allowing for potentially more individualized attention due to its small size.

Despite its strengths, St Anthony School faces challenges with volatile overall rankings, fluctuating from the 81st percentile in 2020-2021 to the 31st percentile in 2024-2025, before rebounding to the 54th percentile in 2025-2026. The school struggles significantly with Special Education and Gifted and Talented students, who ranked in the 8th and 14th percentiles respectively. In contrast, the highest-performing nearby school, William B Travis Vanguard Academy Of Academically Tag, serves a much lower-poverty population (18.18% free/reduced lunch) and achieves near-perfect test scores, highlighting how demographics impact performance. St Anthony's strong reading results and zero dropout rate are particularly impressive given its high-poverty context, making it a beacon in a challenging neighborhood.
