Summary

Jp Dabbs Elementary is a K-5 school in Deer Park, TX, serving 612 students within the Deer Park Independent School District (Isd), a district rated above average statewide. The school has consistently earned a 3-star rating, with over 54% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, indicating a moderately high-needs population.

The most significant differentiator for Jp Dabbs is its persistent struggle with mathematics proficiency, consistently scoring below both district and state averages in 3rd, 4th, and 5th-grade math. For example, in the 2025-2026 school year, only 38.54% of 3rd graders were proficient in math, compared to 60.19% at Deer Park Elementary and 73.02% at nearby Heritage Elementary in La Porte Independent School District (Isd). However, the school shows a unique strength in 5th Grade Science, meeting or exceeding state averages for three consecutive years, and an exceptional performance in 6th Grade Mathematics, where 100% of advanced students were proficient in 2025-2026, far above the district average of 44.59%.

Jp Dabbs has a higher free/reduced lunch rate (54.25%) than district peers like Fairmont Elementary (34.54%) and Deer Park Elementary (36.16%), though Carpenter Elementary has a comparable rate (56.03%). The school’s support for at-risk and low-SES students is inconsistent, with ratings fluctuating significantly. Notably, the school has underperformed in serving its White students, earning a 2-star rating for three years. Despite these challenges, the effective science program and advanced math cohort offer bright spots, suggesting targeted instructional strategies that could be expanded to improve overall outcomes.
