Summary

Prestonwood Montessori At E D Walker is a public elementary school serving grades PK-4 in the Dallas Independent School District, with 351 students and a student-teacher ratio of 13.5. The school outperforms the district and state averages on STAAR reading and math assessments, particularly for its White student population. However, the school's performance for Hispanic, English Learner, and economically disadvantaged students lags behind the state and district averages.

Prestonwood Montessori At E D Walker is ranked 1,491 out of 4,675 Texas elementary schools, placing it in the top third of schools statewide. This ranking is higher than the nearby George Herbert Walker Bush Elementary and Anne Frank Elementary, but lower than the highly-ranked George B Dealey Montessori Academy. The school's diverse student population, low student-teacher ratio, and Montessori-based instruction appear to be key factors in its academic success.

Despite having a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students (56.7%) compared to the nearby schools, Prestonwood Montessori maintains stronger academic performance, indicating the school may be effectively supporting its economically disadvantaged population. The school's use of a Montessori-based approach to education, which is also employed at the highly-ranked George B Dealey Montessori Academy, may contribute to its strong academic performance compared to traditional public schools in the area.
