Summary

Eddie Bernice Johnson Stem Academy is an elementary school (PK-5) in Wilmer, TX, serving 554 students as part of the Dallas Independent School District (Isd), where over 94% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

This school is a study in contrasts, achieving notable successes in specific areas while facing significant challenges in others. Its most impressive strength is its bilingual reading program, where 3rd and 4th graders taking the Spanish STAAR reading test scored far above state and district averages. The school also shows exceptional performance with African American students, ranking in the 72nd percentile statewide. However, these bright spots are offset by a critical weakness in supporting Special Education students, who rank in the 4th percentile. Math performance is also inconsistent, with 4th graders outperforming the state average while 3rd and 5th graders fall well below. The school operates with extremely low spending per student ($3,996), which is significantly less than nearby schools like Wilmer-Hutchins Elementary ($14,153) and Ebby Halliday Elementary ($11,868).

Compared to its neighbors, the school holds its own. It outperforms Pleasant Run Elementary (2nd percentile) and Belt Line Elementary (13th percentile) in the Lancaster Independent School District (Isd), and is on par with Wilmer-Hutchins Elementary. It is slightly behind Lee Longino Elementary (47th percentile) in the Ferris Independent School District (Isd), which serves a less economically disadvantaged population. The school's future success will likely depend on replicating the strategies that work for its high-performing groups and addressing the systemic issues affecting its most struggling students, all while operating under severe financial constraints.
