Summary

D P Morris Elementary is a public elementary school in Arlington, Texas, serving 586 students in grades K-4 and part of the Mansfield Independent School District.

While the Mansfield ISD is ranked 212 out of 961 school districts in Texas and has a 4-star rating, D P Morris Elementary has consistently ranked in the lower half of Texas elementary schools over the past 10 years. The school's performance on STAAR tests is generally below the district and state averages, particularly in reading and mathematics. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 39.58% of 3rd-grade students at D P Morris were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 56.48% for the district and 52.02% for the state.

Compared to nearby schools within the Mansfield ISD, such as J.L.

However, the school does perform better than some nearby schools in the Arlington ISD, such as Ashworth Elementary. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at D P Morris Elementary, at 77.13%, may be a contributing factor to the school's lower academic performance.

Lack of communication skills among teacher and administrative staff. Have called to let teacher know about a change in way will pick up child and somehow, message was never recieved, more than one occasion. Also, had an administrative staff reply rudely when called once. Also, asked for tutoring help for my son and was told very frankly that it was not offered. Will be so happy when my second child is finished with this school. Close Quote
