Summary

Adelfa Botello Callejo Elementary is a PK-5 school in Dallas, TX, serving 496 students within the Dallas Independent School District (Isd), where over 98% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school has experienced volatile performance, dropping from the 66th percentile statewide in 2022-2023 to the 28th percentile for the 2025-2026 school year, placing it among lower-performing schools in its area.

The school's most notable strength is its exceptional performance on Spanish-language STAAR assessments, which consistently outpace state averages. For example, in 2025-2026, 5th Grade Reading (Spanish) scored 63.16% proficient versus the state's 34.82%. However, this success contrasts sharply with English-language instruction, where scores generally fall below district and state benchmarks. A persistent weakness is 5th Grade Science, which has remained well below averages for years, such as 9.26% proficient in 2024-2025 compared to the state's 29.57%. Nearby San Jacinto Elementary, just 0.97 miles away, has shown strong improvement, moving to the 74th percentile in 2025-2026, outperforming Adelfa Botello in nearly every English-language math and reading category.

Despite higher per-student spending—$12,605 in 2020-2021, more than nearby Urban Park Steam Academy and Frank Guzick Elementary—academic outcomes have not improved. The school's subgroup performance is inconsistent, with Special Education ranking dropping from the 92nd percentile to the 54th percentile, and Gifted & Talented consistently in the bottom 20%. The 2022-2023 peak year, when the school ranked in the 66th percentile overall, suggests potential for improvement, but the lack of sustainability highlights a need for strategic focus, particularly in replicating the Spanish program's success across English curriculum and prioritizing science instruction.
