Summary

Leonides Gonzalez Cigarroa Md Elementary is a PK-6 public school in Dallas, TX, serving 528 students within the Dallas Independent School District (Isd).

Cigarroa Elementary faces significant challenges common to high-poverty urban schools, with over 98% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The school currently ranks in the 35th percentile statewide, which is a slight improvement from recent years but still well below average. A key concern is the extreme volatility in grade-level performance; for example, 5th-grade math proficiency is a bright spot at 58%, but 6th-grade math drops to just 20%. Similarly, reading proficiency in 3rd grade is 50%, but it falls to only 20% in 4th grade. This inconsistency suggests a lack of a stable, school-wide instructional strategy. The school also shows a critical weakness in upper elementary English reading, with only 20-25% of 4th and 5th graders proficient, which is roughly 30 points below district and state averages. On a positive note, the bilingual program appears to be a relative strength, as 5th-grade Spanish Reading proficiency (61.5%) significantly outperforms the state average (34.8%).

When compared to nearby schools, the achievement gap is stark. Just 1.6 miles away, Harry C Withers Elementary and Everette Lee Degolyer Elementary serve populations with only about 50% economic disadvantage and rank in the top 20-25% of the state. Even compared to its closest neighbor, David G Burnet Elementary (0.35 miles away), which serves a nearly identical demographic, Cigarroa lags behind in Spanish-language reading scores. A major red flag is the school's performance with Special Education students, who rank in the 3rd percentile—the lowest subgroup in the entire dataset. Compounding these issues, the school spends $13,630 per student, which is higher than nearby high-performing schools, indicating that funding is not the problem but rather how effectively resources are used.
