Summary:
The 75243 zip code area of Dallas, Texas is home to 14 schools, including 9 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative school. These schools are part of the Richardson Independent School District (ISD), except for the two high schools, which are public charter schools.
One standout school in the area is Moss Haven Elementary, which consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state. In the 2024-2025 school year, Moss Haven is projected to rank in the top 800 elementary schools in Texas, with a 4 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger. Another standout is Harmony Science Academy - Dallas, the alternative school in the data set, which has a very high 4-year graduation rate of 97.8% and a low dropout rate of 0.4%, despite serving a high-needs population.
The schools in this area serve a high-need population, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 16.8% at Moss Haven Elementary to 95.37% at Thurgood Marshall Elementary. This wide variation in economic disadvantage among the student bodies is reflected in the schools' academic performance, with some schools like Moss Haven excelling and others, such as Skyview Elementary, Audelia Creek Elementary, and Texans Can Academy - Dallas North, struggling with proficiency rates well below the district and state averages. Addressing these achievement gaps and ensuring equitable access to high-quality education for all students should be a key priority for the Richardson ISD and the broader community.
