Summary

F P Caillet Elementary is a PK-6 school in the Dallas Independent School District (Isd) serving 552 students in a high-poverty area, where nearly 98% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school has experienced a dramatic academic decline in recent years, dropping from a 3-star rating in the 69th percentile statewide in 2021-2022 to a 1-star rating in the 16th percentile by 2025-2026. This steep fall is evident across subjects, with 3rd-grade Reading proficiency dropping from 58% to 32% and 3rd-grade Math from 38% to 26% over the same period, suggesting systemic challenges that have intensified recently.

Despite the overall struggles, the school's Spanish-language program stands out as a bright spot. In 2025-2026, 5th-grade Reading proficiency in Spanish reached 69.23%, far exceeding both the district (50.59%) and state (34.82%) averages. This consistent success indicates that the bilingual program is effectively teaching literacy to Spanish-speaking students, even as English-language performance lags. However, a historical strength in serving "At Risk" students—where the school ranked in the 93rd percentile in 2021-2022—has vanished, with performance for low socioeconomic status students dropping to the 28th percentile by 2025-2026.

Comparing Caillet to nearby schools reveals a polarized neighborhood. Just 1.28 miles away, Everette Lee Degolyer Elementary serves a much lower-poverty population (50.85% free/reduced lunch) and consistently earns 4-star ratings. The closest comparable school, Leonides Gonzalez Cigarroa Md Elementary (0.8 miles away), has a nearly identical poverty rate (98.3%) but has been more stable, outperforming Caillet in 3rd-grade Reading (50% vs. 32%) and Math (38% vs. 26%) in 2025-2026. This suggests Caillet's decline is not solely due to poverty but involves school-specific factors, making it the most notable negative trajectory in a cluster that includes Julian T Saldivar Elementary and Jose 'joe' May Elementary at the bottom.
