Summary

Mount Auburn Steam Academy is an elementary school in Dallas, TX, serving 548 students from Pre-K through 5th grade in the Dallas Independent School District (Isd), where over 92% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. This school has achieved a remarkable turnaround, climbing from the bottom 6th percentile statewide in 2017 to the 57th percentile in 2026, transforming from a 0-star to a 3-star school through consistent, broad-based improvement.

What truly sets Mount Auburn apart is its exceptional performance with students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, ranking in the 81st percentile statewide for this group—a stark contrast to nearby schools like Oran M Roberts Elementary and Bayles Elementary, which serve similar demographics but rank in the bottom 20%. The school also excels in its bilingual program, with students consistently outperforming state averages on the STAAR Spanish Reading exam. For example, 4th graders scored 56.25% compared to the state average of 37.14%. This success is particularly notable when compared to Ignacio Zaragoza Elementary, which often falls below state averages on the same tests.

An interesting comparison exists with East Grand Preparatory Academy, located just 0.18 miles away on the same street and serving a similar student population. While Mount Auburn is on a clear upward trajectory, East Grand Prep has been more volatile, dropping from the 54th to the 39th percentile recently. This divergence highlights how different leadership and instructional strategies can produce different outcomes. While Lakewood Elementary, just 2 miles away, remains a 5-star school in the 99th percentile, Mount Auburn's steady progress shows it is effectively closing the achievement gap for its students.
