Summary

KIPP Pleasant Grove Pri is an elementary charter school in Dallas, TX, serving 496 students from Pre-K through 5th grade in the Pleasant Grove neighborhood, and is part of the KIPP Texas Public Schools network. The school has shown a remarkable turnaround, climbing from the bottom 1st percentile in Texas elementary school rankings to the 15th percentile in the most recent data, a steady upward trend that stands out compared to nearby schools like Edward Titche Elementary, which dropped from the 40th to the 14th percentile over the same period. This improvement suggests a stable and consistent academic program is being built, especially when contrasted with the volatile performance of Golden Rule Southwest, whose rankings have swung wildly in recent years.

A standout feature is the school's exceptional performance with its Special Education students, who ranked in the 65th percentile statewide in the most recent year—a massive jump from the 3rd percentile the year before. This indicates a targeted intervention is yielding strong results for this group. Additionally, 5th-grade Reading proficiency at KIPP Pleasant Grove Pri (52.17%) actually exceeded the Dallas Independent School District (Isd) average (45.24%), a rare achievement not matched by nearby schools like Annie Webb Blanton Elementary (38.71%) or Pleasant Grove Elementary (44.44%). However, parents should note that the school has a higher student-to-teacher ratio (19.4:1) than most neighboring schools, such as John Q Adams Elementary (13.7:1), which may mean larger class sizes.

While the school faces challenges, particularly in 5th-grade Science where proficiency rates are very low (4.11%), this is a community-wide issue shared by all nearby schools, including C A Tatum Junior Elementary (6.06%) and John W Runyon Elementary (1.92%), pointing to systemic factors in the area. The most recent school year appears to be a breakthrough, with Hispanic students also performing well above the school average, ranking in the 56th percentile statewide. This makes KIPP Pleasant Grove Pri a school to watch closely, as the next year's data will reveal if this upward trend is sustainable.
