Historical Progress
✓ Strong Achievement Growth - Per STAAR across all grades and subjects, Dallas ISD has grown
proficiency faster since 2012 than both the state and almost all of its urban peers (Houston, Fort Worth, Austin, El Paso, San Antonio) for all students as well as its major student populations (e.g. low income, African Americans, English learners)
✓ Reduction in Underperforming Schools - Since 2014, Dallas ISD had reduced the number of
students enrolled in an “Improvement Required” campus from 19% of all students to 1%, shrinking the number of campuses 43 to 4 over 4 years.
- These campuses were disproportionately African American (40% vs. 23% for Dallas ISD overall)
- The Accelerating Campus Excellence program, or “ACE”, saw 12 of 13 campuses go off the multi-year IR list, collectively averaging a “B” grade per state accountability in 2018. The campuses were disproportionately African American (50% vs. 23% for the district overall). Discipline referrals also declined in both elementary and middle schools.
✓ Strong Growth in 4-Year H.S. Graduation Rates for Students of Color since 2011
- From 81% to 89% for Hispanic students
- From 78% to 87% for African American students
✓ Strong Growth in Early Childhood Education for Students of Color Since 2012
- African American Pre-K enrollment up 44% to 63%
- EL Pre-K enrollment of those eligible up 70% to 80%
