Summary

Anne Frank Elementary in Dallas, TX, is a large PK-5 school serving 1,119 students in the Dallas Independent School District (Isd), where nearly 90% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. This school stands out as a "bright spot" in its area, consistently earning a 3-star rating and ranking in the 59th percentile statewide, making it the clear academic leader among nearby Dallas ISD schools like Tom C Gooch Elementary and George Herbert Walker Bush Elementary, which rank in the lower half of the state. However, it's important to note that just 1.5 to 3 miles away, schools in the Richardson Independent School District (Isd), such as Brentfield Elementary and Bowie Elementary, rank in the 93rd to 99th percentile, reflecting a stark socioeconomic divide in the area.

Anne Frank Elementary's greatest strength is its exceptional performance with students from low-income backgrounds and African American students, ranking in the 89th and 93rd percentiles statewide for these groups, respectively. This is a remarkable achievement given the school's high-poverty context. Additionally, the school's bilingual and ESL program is highly effective, with 3rd Grade Reading (Spanish) proficiency at 50.67%, far exceeding the district's 31.71% and the state's 21.8%. This strong support for English Language Learners is a key differentiator from surrounding schools.

While the school excels in reading and shows a strong "catch-up" effect in math by 5th grade, there are areas of concern. Math proficiency in 3rd grade (33.82%) lags behind the district and state averages, and 5th Grade Science scores experienced a dramatic drop in 2023-2024 before recovering. The school also struggles to serve students at the extreme ends of the academic spectrum, with Special Education and Gifted and Talented students ranking in the 39th and 44th percentiles, respectively. Overall, Anne Frank Elementary is a high-performing school in a high-poverty context, achieving remarkable results for its most vulnerable students while facing challenges in specific subjects and specialized programs.
