Public Grades

Summary

Elisha M Pease Elementary is a public elementary school in Dallas, Texas, serving 817 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Dallas Independent School District, which is ranked 557 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating.

Elisha M Pease Elementary faces significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance, ranking in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools. The school's STAAR test scores are generally below the district and state averages, particularly in science, where only 7.53% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better, compared to 17.71% for the district and 26.29% for the state. The school also has a relatively high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 14.5 to 16.3, compared to nearby schools like William B Miller Elementary and J N Ervin Elementary, which have lower ratios.

However, the school's performance among certain subgroups, such as African American and Hispanic students, as well as English Language Learners and Special Education students, is relatively better, ranking in the top half of their respective subgroups in Texas. This suggests that there may be opportunities for targeted interventions and support to improve the school's overall outcomes. Nearby schools, such as Harry Stone Montessori Academy and J P Starks Elementary, generally outperform Elisha M Pease Elementary on STAAR tests and have higher statewide rankings, indicating that factors beyond just funding may contribute to their better performance.
