Summary

Maple Lawn Elementary is a PK-5 school in the Oak Lawn area of Dallas, serving 511 students as part of the Dallas Independent School District (Isd).

Maple Lawn is a school on a strong upward trajectory, having climbed from a 1-star rating to a 3-star rating in recent years. Its most notable strength is its exceptional bilingual program, with 5th-grade students taking the Spanish STAAR test achieving an 82.61% proficiency rate in reading and 46.15% in math—far exceeding district and state averages. The school is particularly effective at serving its student body, earning 4-star ratings for its work with Hispanic, African American, and low-income students. This success stands out when compared to nearby schools like Esperanza Medrano Elementary and Obadiah Knight Elementary, which serve similar populations but have not shown the same level of academic growth. While Armstrong Elementary and Bradfield Elementary in Highland Park Independent School District (Isd) have much higher overall test scores, they serve a very different demographic, making Maple Lawn’s progress especially noteworthy for families seeking a school that is demonstrably improving outcomes for all students.

Despite these strengths, there are areas for growth. The school’s Gifted and Talented program ranks in the 32nd percentile, suggesting it may not provide the same level of enrichment for its highest-achieving students. Additionally, 5th-grade science scores have been consistently below district and state averages, and performance can vary significantly between grade levels. For example, 5th-grade reading scores were strong at 62.96%, while 4th-grade reading lagged at 47.37%. Overall, Maple Lawn is a school that is clearly moving in the right direction, with a standout bilingual program and a proven ability to help students from diverse backgrounds succeed, though families should be aware of the inconsistencies in advanced academics and science instruction.
