Summary

Daniel Webster Elementary is a PK-5 public school in the Oak Cliff area of Dallas, TX, serving 395 students as part of the Dallas Independent School District (Isd).

This school is in the midst of a notable transformation, particularly for students receiving special education services. In the 2025-2026 school year, Daniel Webster ranked in the 77th percentile for its effectiveness with special education students—a dramatic leap from the 11th percentile just two years prior. This is a standout strength compared to nearby schools like Jimmie Tyler Brashear Elementary and Mark Twain School For The Talented And Gifted, which do not show similar results for this subgroup. The school also performs well with its African American students, ranking in the 59th percentile, and its Spanish-language reading scores in 4th and 5th grade actually exceed both district and state averages. However, mathematics remains a significant challenge, with 5th grade math proficiency at just 28.99% compared to the district average of 47.72%.

While Daniel Webster spends more per student ($15,174) than many nearby schools, its overall ranking (28th percentile) still lags behind schools like Jimmie Tyler Brashear (74th percentile) and Mark Twain (77th percentile). This suggests that how funds are used—such as the targeted investment in special education—matters more than the amount spent. The school serves a highly economically disadvantaged population, with over 97% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, which presents ongoing challenges. Still, the progress in specific areas shows that focused efforts can lead to meaningful improvement, offering a blueprint for future growth.
