Summary

White Rock Elementary is a highly successful public elementary school in Dallas, Texas, serving around 1,000 students in grades PK-6 and consistently ranking among the top 5% of elementary schools in the state. As part of the Richardson Independent School District (ISD), White Rock Elementary has maintained a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past 10 years, indicating its sustained excellence in academic achievement and student growth.

The school's academic performance is particularly impressive, with students consistently outperforming the Richardson ISD and Texas state averages on STAAR tests across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 77.78% of 3rd graders at White Rock Elementary were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 54.96% for Richardson ISD and 52.02% for Texas. This strong academic performance is likely supported by the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of around 14:1 and its significantly higher spending per student ($9,033 in 2020-2021) compared to the district and state averages.

Compared to nearby schools in the Richardson ISD and Dallas ISD, White Rock Elementary stands out as a high-performing institution. For instance, Moss Haven Elementary and Northlake Elementary, which are also in the Richardson ISD, have lower academic performance and lower SchoolDigger ratings than White Rock Elementary. While the school's performance for certain student subgroups, such as African American and English Language Learner students, indicates that there may be opportunity gaps to address, White Rock Elementary's overall success in serving a diverse student population is a testament to its commitment to providing a high-quality education for all.

What people are saying

by a student
Tuesday, April 28, 2020

DO NOT GO HERE!!! The parents of this school are the most racist people you will meet. The fought and fought and fought too have apartment building removed from their district because "the children from apartments are gross and we do not want our children around them". WHAT A DISGRACE! What kind of example is this setting for the people of the future?! If I could give this school zero stars, I would. Close Quote
