Summary

McKamy Elementary is a public elementary school in Dallas, Texas, serving 523 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Carrollton-Farmers Branch Independent School District (ISD).

While McKamy Elementary spends a relatively high amount per student at $12,061, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools over the past 10 years, with its performance on state assessments significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 45.24% of 3rd graders at McKamy were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 61.31% for the district and 52.02% for the state. The school's performance is particularly low in mathematics, with only 30.99% of 3rd graders, 41.27% of 4th graders, and 37.7% of 5th graders reaching proficiency or better.

Compared to nearby schools within the Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD, such as Country Place Elementary, Sheffield Elementary, and McWhorter Elementary, which generally outperform McKamy Elementary on academic measures, McKamy faces significant challenges in terms of student demographics and resource allocation. The school has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at 77.44%, and its performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic and English Language Learner (ELL) students.
