Summary

Charles A Gill Elementary is a PK-5 public school in the Casa View neighborhood of Dallas, TX, serving 630 students as part of the Dallas Independent School District (Isd). Over 95% of its students qualify for free or reduced lunch, and the school has a student-teacher ratio of 15:1. While it has historically been a 2-star school, ranking in the 42nd percentile statewide, it shows a fascinating split in performance that offers both challenges and opportunities for families.

The most striking finding is the contrast between English and Spanish reading programs. In the most recent testing year, only 40.91% of 3rd graders and 33.96% of 4th graders were proficient in English Reading, well below state averages. However, the school excels in Spanish Reading, with 45.95% of 3rd graders and 43.33% of 4th graders proficient—significantly outperforming state averages of 28.3% and 37.14%. This suggests a strong bilingual program that is highly effective for Spanish-speaking students. Nearby schools like Martha Turner Reilly Elementary (74.14% in 3rd grade English Reading) and Reinhardt Elementary (57.5%) show that higher English proficiency is possible in the area. Additionally, the school has a history of strong support for its "At Risk" students, who previously ranked in the 79th to 89th percentile, though recent data is unavailable.

Math performance is declining, with 5th-grade proficiency dropping from 54% (above state average) in 2022-2023 to 45.88% (below state average) in 2025-2026. Science is a universal weakness, with only 22.83% of 5th graders proficient. A compelling comparison is Motley Elementary in Mesquite Independent School District (Isd), which serves a similarly high-poverty population (90.57%) but is a 4-star school ranked in the 73rd percentile. Motley achieves 81.48% proficiency in 5th-grade Math, proving that high poverty does not dictate low performance. For parents, Charles A Gill offers a strong bilingual program and targeted support for at-risk students, but families should investigate how the school plans to improve English literacy and reverse the math decline.

Wednesday, August 24, 2011

your school, isn't diverse enough, when my son went there(he's white), all the other kids of african american, and hispanic descent, beat him up and bullied him everyday, I feel as though your school should teach about equality, or that everyone is the same, it's not fair that everyone judged my child by the color of his skin, just because he was white, doesn't mean he shouldn't fit in, we no longer live in that area, and my son is no longer enrolled in your school, he now goes to therapy, because your "other" students bullied and picked on him so much, he doesn't even want to be white anymore, he said to me the other day, "i wish i was black, or hispanic, so that way they wouldn't have beat me for being different" if i had to rate your school i would give it a zero and no stars, your school is a terrible environment for any child Close Quote
