Summary

Dr Linda Henrie Elementary is a large PK-5 school in Dallas, TX, serving 891 students within the Mesquite Independent School District (Isd), where over 93% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. While the school’s overall state ranking has stabilized in recent years after a decline, it stands out as a relative bright spot in a district that ranks in the bottom 27% statewide, outperforming nearby Mesquite ISD peers like Cross Elementary, Gentry Elementary, and Achziger Elementary.

One of the school’s biggest strengths is its exceptional performance in mathematics, especially in upper grades. For example, 51.89% of 5th graders were proficient in Math, well above the district average of 37.39% and the state average of 47.38%, and far exceeding nearby schools like Thompson Elementary (29.79%) and Mackey Elementary (41.18%). The school also shows remarkable effectiveness with English Language Learner (ELL) students, ranking in the 76th percentile statewide for this group—a stark contrast to its overall 45th percentile rank and making it a potential “hidden gem” for ELL families in the area. Additionally, African American students have performed strongly, earning a 4-star rating in a recent year.

An interesting pattern emerges when comparing test language: students taking the Spanish version of the Math STAAR often outperform those taking the English version, suggesting the bilingual program is highly effective in math instruction. However, performance is inconsistent across all groups—while ELL and African American students thrive, the school has struggled with other subgroups, and results for Special Education students have been volatile. Overall, Dr Linda Henrie Elementary offers standout math instruction and targeted support for specific student populations, making it a compelling option for families seeking a school that excels in these areas within the Mesquite ISD.
