Summary

Dooley Elementary is a K-5 school in the Plano Independent School District (Isd) serving 303 students, and it stands out as a stable, mid-tier school with a notably low student-to-teacher ratio of 10.7:1, which is better than nearby high-performing schools like Hunt Elementary (13.7:1) and Boggess Elementary (13.9:1). This smaller class size suggests a more personalized learning environment, which is a key advantage for families seeking individual attention for their children.

Dooley is a school of contrasts, excelling in specialized support while facing challenges in core academics. Its most impressive strength is its exceptional performance with Special Education students, ranking in the 91st percentile statewide, and its Gifted and Talented program, which recently jumped to the 88th percentile. However, the school's overall ranking is in the 61st percentile, held back by a persistent weakness in mathematics, where proficiency rates in 4th grade (37.5%) lag far behind the district average (59.7%). Additionally, there is a significant gender achievement gap, with male students performing much better than female students, a 44-percentile-point difference that warrants attention.

Geographically, Dooley sits in the middle of a diverse neighborhood, serving a moderate poverty rate of 49%—unlike the wealthier populations at Hunt Elementary (14% free/reduced lunch) or the higher-poverty rates at Mendenhall Elementary (over 80%). This makes Dooley a community-focused school that balances strong support for students with specific needs, like those in Special Education or Gifted programs, with a need to improve math instruction for all students. For parents, this means a school that offers targeted, high-quality programs for certain groups but may require extra support at home for math and for girls' academic achievement.
