Dallas’s public schools score below 82% of Texas districts on tests and graduation

Reading proficiency in Dallas’s districts is 42%, below the Texas average (51%). The grade covers the public school district serving Dallas, from kindergarten through graduation, on state tests and graduation. Each state writes its own tests, so this is the one TownRatings grade compared within Texas, not nationally.

The School Grade

What’s behind Dallas’s grade

C Test scoresD− Graduation

C−: better than 18% of Texas school districts, #576 of 642 Texas towns. Both inputs trail the Texas average; test scores are the closer of the two to typical.

Texas towns with similar household incomes (715)Better than 10%
A firm grade. Ordinary sampling error in 74,078 test results and a graduating class of 10,062 wouldn’t change the letter. The tests are from spring 2022, when 98% of Dallas’s students in the tested grades sat them (72,341 in math, 75,814 in reading).
