Summary:
Zip code 75001 in Addison, TX, is home to a single public school, George Herbert Walker Bush Elementary School, which serves grades PK through 6 with a large enrollment of 834 students and is part of the Dallas Independent School District (Isd).
George Herbert Walker Bush Elementary serves a high-needs population, with 86.69% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch. The school's standout feature is its bilingual program: in the 2025-2026 school year, Spanish Reading STAAR scores (44-53% proficient) significantly outperformed the state average by 10-18 percentage points across all tested grades. However, this strength contrasts sharply with English-language performance, where Reading scores (40-57% proficient) fell below state averages, and Mathematics scores were critically low—English Math proficiency ranged from just 31% to 40%, while Spanish Math scores in 4th and 5th grade dropped to around 15%. The school's state ranking has also declined, dropping from the 47th percentile in 2024-2025 to the 34th percentile in 2025-2026, a 13-point decrease that signals a downward trend.
Key metrics include a student-teacher ratio of 18.1:1 and per-student spending of $11,343. While the school's bilingual reading program is a clear asset, Mathematics is a systemic weakness requiring urgent intervention across both English and Spanish assessments. Additionally, the only available Science data (5th grade, 2024-2025) shows just 18% proficiency in English and 11% in Spanish, far below the state average of 30%. For parents, this school offers a strong bilingual foundation but faces significant challenges in English literacy, math, and science achievement that warrant close attention.
