Summary

Ebby Halliday Elementary in Dallas, TX, is a PK-6 campus in the Dallas Independent School District (Isd) serving 722 students in a high-poverty area, where over 94% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. The most exciting news for parents is the school’s dramatic turnaround: after ranking in the bottom 8th percentile statewide in 2024-2025, it jumped to the 32nd percentile in 2025-2026, earning a 2-star rating. This is the largest single-year improvement among nearby schools, including Kleberg Elementary and Richard Lagow Elementary, which have seen stagnant or declining rankings. While its closest neighbor, Nancy Moseley Elementary, ranks slightly higher overall (34th percentile), Ebby Halliday outperforms it in 4th and 5th-grade math, suggesting a growing strength in upper elementary math instruction.

One standout strength is the school’s bilingual program. In 2025-2026, 5th graders taking the Spanish STAAR Reading test achieved 46.51% proficiency, well above the state average of 34.82% and competitive with the district average. This pattern holds for 4th grade as well, indicating the program effectively develops literacy skills. However, science remains a persistent weakness, with only 8.11% of 5th graders proficient in 2024-2025, far below the district (22.94%) and state (29.57%) averages. This is a common challenge among nearby schools like W A Blair Elementary (2.56%) and Kleberg (3.08%), but it signals a need for targeted intervention.

Another key insight is the school’s uneven performance across student groups. Ebby Halliday excels with its African American students, ranking in the 76th percentile statewide in 2025-2026, far higher than its overall ranking. Yet, its Gifted and Talented students rank in the 2nd percentile, suggesting the school may not be providing enough enrichment for its highest achievers. Additionally, math scores vary wildly by grade: 4th graders hit 56.82% proficiency in 2025-2026, outperforming the district and state, while 6th graders scored just 21.59%. This 35-point gap is the largest among nearby schools, hinting at inconsistencies in curriculum or teaching across grade levels. For parents, this means the school shows promise in specific areas but needs to address gaps to ensure all students thrive.
