Summary:
Zip code 75249 is home to a single high school, Harmony School Of Excellence - Dallas, a public charter school serving grades 6 through 12 with 596 students, where nearly two-thirds of the student body is economically disadvantaged.
Harmony School Of Excellence - Dallas presents a mixed academic profile. The school is a standout for its exceptional graduation rate of 95.3% and a remarkable 0.0% dropout rate, indicating strong student retention. It also consistently outperforms state averages in Biology and U.S. History End-of-Course exams. However, the school faces a severe and persistent challenge in mathematics, particularly in middle school grades. For instance, only 11.76% of 7th graders were proficient in math, compared to the state average of 29.41%. This "math gap" is a critical area of concern, though there is a bright spot in Algebra I, where proficiency rates are close to the state average, suggesting better support for high school-level math.
Overall, the school is ranked 857th out of 2,009 high schools in Texas (57th percentile, 3 stars), a notable decline from the previous year's 78th percentile. This drop is puzzling given that many End-of-Course scores improved, suggesting the ranking may be heavily influenced by the low middle school math scores. The school is part of the Harmony Public Schools - North Texas district, which is ranked in the 67th percentile. For parents, this school offers a strong culture of graduation and success in science and history, but requires a close look at its math support systems, especially for students entering middle school.
