Summary

Winnetka Elementary is a PK-5 public school in the Oak Cliff area of Dallas, serving 693 students as part of the Dallas Independent School District (Isd). This school stands out as a consistently strong performer, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for six of the last seven years and ranking in the 73rd percentile statewide—a remarkable achievement given that over 90% of its students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Winnetka’s biggest strength is its exceptional math performance. In the most recent testing year, 62.37% of 4th graders and 64.55% of 5th graders scored proficient in math, far exceeding district and state averages. This is a dramatic contrast to nearby schools like Margaret B Henderson Elementary (24.39% in 4th grade) and Lida Hooe Elementary (37.5% in 5th grade). The school also excels with its Spanish bilingual program, with 82.14% of 5th graders taking the Reading test in Spanish scoring proficient—far above the district’s 49.02%. However, 5th-grade science scores are a weak spot, with only 29.59% proficient, just above the state average.

Winnetka is a clear academic anchor in its neighborhood, outperforming all traditional public elementary schools within a 1.5-mile radius, including John F Peeler Elementary and Bishop Arts Steam Academy. It also ranks in the 88th percentile statewide for effectiveness with low-income students, placing it in the top 12% of Texas schools for serving this demographic. While its state ranking has dipped slightly from the 82nd percentile in 2022-2023 to the 73rd percentile in 2025-2026, Winnetka remains a top choice for families seeking a high-quality public education in the area.
