Summary:
In zip code 75235 (Dallas, TX), there is one high school, Uplift Williams Prep High School, serving grades 9-12 as part of the Uplift Education charter district, which holds a 2-star rating and ranks in the 30th percentile statewide.
Uplift Williams Prep High School enrolls 517 students and has a high graduation rate of 95.0% for the 2023-2024 school year, slightly above its district average of 94.5%. However, its dropout rate of 1.7% is higher than the district's 1.4%. The school's state ranking improved slightly to the 41st percentile (1,177 out of 2,009 schools) for the 2025-2026 school year. A notable strength is its favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.6:1, indicating smaller class sizes, and per-student spending of $10,390. A very high percentage of students (85.3%) are eligible for free or reduced lunch.
Academically, the school shows significant volatility and a clear "math problem." Algebra I proficiency, while improving from 20% to 35% year-over-year, remains 19 percentage points below the state average. The strongest subject is English I Reading at 54.27% proficient, which is nearly identical to the state average. However, a majority of students are not proficient in core subjects like Algebra I (65% not proficient) and U.S. History (41.5% not proficient), creating a paradox with the high graduation rate. This inconsistency in test scores across subjects and years suggests performance may depend heavily on specific cohorts or teaching staff, and that resources are not translating into top-tier academic outcomes.
