Summary

Cesar Chavez Learning Center is a PK-5 elementary school in Dallas, TX, serving 541 students as part of the Dallas Independent School District (Isd).

This school faces significant challenges, with over 99% of its students qualifying for free or reduced lunch—the highest concentration of poverty among all nearby schools. Its academic performance on English-language STAAR tests has consistently ranked in the bottom 7% of Texas elementary schools, a stark contrast to schools like Solar Prep For Boys At John F Kennedy (84th percentile) and Solar Preparatory School For Girls At Bonham (91st percentile), which are less than a mile away. However, the school shows a remarkable strength in its bilingual program: on Spanish-language STAAR tests, 4th graders scored 66.67% proficient in Math, more than double the state average. This suggests the school has developed effective strategies for its English Language Learner students, who ranked in the 76th percentile statewide in 2023-2024.

Interestingly, the school spends about $12,981 per student—more than the high-performing Solar Prep for Girls ($10,556)—indicating that low performance isn't simply a funding issue. The school's Special Education program has shown volatile but promising results, ranking in the 96th percentile in 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 before dropping to the 7th percentile in the most recent year. While overall rankings have fluctuated between the 7th and 29th percentile over the past decade, the school's success with Spanish-language instruction and its ability to serve at-risk populations suggest that improvement is possible, especially if these strengths can be stabilized and expanded.
