Summary

B H Macon Elementary in Dallas, TX, is a PK-5 school serving 535 students in the Pleasant Grove area, part of the Dallas Independent School District (Isd), where over 95% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. After a significant drop to a 1-star rating in recent years, the school has rebounded strongly to a 3-star rating (51st percentile) for the 2025-2026 school year, signaling a potential turnaround that parents should watch closely.

One of the school's standout strengths is its exceptional support for African American students, ranking in the 97th percentile statewide—a 5-star performance that far exceeds any other subgroup metric and is notably higher than nearby schools like Frederick Douglass Elementary or John Q Adams Elementary. Additionally, the school excels with low socio-economic status students, ranking in the 73rd percentile (4-star rating), which is significantly better than many peers with similar demographics. The bilingual program is also a clear asset, with students consistently outperforming the state average on the STAAR Spanish Reading exam across all tested grades. However, the school faces a critical weakness in supporting Special Education students, ranking in the 2nd percentile statewide, and science proficiency remains a persistent challenge, with only 16.13% of 5th graders proficient in 2024-2025.

Compared to the top-performing Gilbert Cuellar Senior Elementary (80th percentile), B H Macon still lags in most subjects, such as 3rd-grade math (24.14% vs. 72.82% proficient). Yet, the school's recent rebound from a 12th percentile low to its current 51st percentile is the most volatile swing in the area, suggesting recent instructional changes may be paying off. While per-student spending ($12,879) is higher than some nearby schools like W A Blair Elementary ($11,629), outcomes vary widely, emphasizing that how resources are used matters most. For parents, B H Macon offers strong programs for specific student groups but requires attention to its gaps in special education and science.
