Summary:
In zip code 75246 (Dallas, TX), there is a single middle school option: Ilearn Virtual Academy At Dallas Independent School District (Isd), a virtual school serving grades 4 through 8 with a very small enrollment of just 32 students.
This school is a standout for its dramatic academic improvement and unique performance profile. It has jumped from the 31st percentile (2 stars) in 2022-2023 to a projected 78th percentile (4 stars) for the 2024-2025 school year, a remarkable ascent. The school excels in Reading, with proficiency rates in 6th, 7th, and 8th grades (71.43%, 66.67%, and 80% respectively) that are significantly higher than both the Dallas Independent School District (Isd) average and the Texas state average. It also outperforms the state in 8th Grade Science (60% vs. 46.25%) and 8th Grade Social Studies (50% vs. 29.64%). However, Mathematics is a clear weakness, particularly in 6th grade where proficiency is only 14.29%, far below the state average of 37.68%.
Key metrics highlight a school that operates almost like a tutoring center. With a 4:1 student-teacher ratio and a 0.0% dropout rate (compared to the district's 3.2%), the highly personalized environment likely drives its strong reading scores. The school serves a high-need population, with 81.25% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch. The extreme disparity between Reading and Math performance suggests a potential imbalance in curriculum focus or resource allocation, but the rapid ranking improvement and low dropout rate indicate the virtual model is working effectively for this small cohort of students.
