Summary

Jerry R Junkins Elementary in Carrollton, TX, is a PK-6 school serving 702 students within the Dallas Independent School District (Isd), where a large majority of families (86%) qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

This school has experienced a sharp decline in recent years, dropping from a 3-star rating to a 1-star rating and ranking in the 12th percentile statewide. This is a significant change from just a few years ago, and it stands in stark contrast to nearby schools like Country Place Elementary (81st percentile) and Blanton Elementary (64th percentile), which serve similar communities but are part of the Carrollton-Farmers Branch Independent School District (Isd). The school also spends more per student ($11,786) than several higher-performing peers, suggesting the challenges are more about instructional effectiveness than funding.

Despite these struggles, there is a notable bright spot: students taking the STAAR Spanish test perform exceptionally well, often exceeding district and state averages. For example, 4th-grade Math proficiency on the Spanish test was 58% compared to 25% district-wide. This points to a strong bilingual program. However, the school faces a significant gender gap, with male students ranking in the 7th percentile, and 5th-grade Science is a universal weakness, with only 14% of students proficient on the English test. For parents, this school offers a strong bilingual program but has clear areas of concern, particularly for boys and in science instruction.
