DESCRIPTION
We are proud to release Texas School Guide: A Parent’s Roadmap to Success in Dallas ISD Area Public Schools. This resource, and corresponding website TexasSchoolGuide.org, aim to serve as a one-stop-shop for parents wanting to maximize their child’s educational attainment in Dallas ISD areas. The Guide contains detailed data on campuses in Dallas, spanning a range of key topics from average class sizes to graduation rates. The Guide also goes one step further, utilizing the CHILDREN AT RISK Public School Rankings to indicate how each campus performs relative to its peers. This performance data is complemented with information for parents around charter and magnet school application processes, questions parents should be asking to determine if a school is right for their child, and information on how parents can serve as strong advocates for high quality public education.TRANSCRIPT

CHILDREN AT RISK is a nonprofit organization that drives change for children
through research, education and influencing public policy. Texas School Guide: A
Parent’s Roadmap to Success in Dallas ISD Area Public Schools has been developed
independently, and is not endorsed by the Dallas Independent School District (Dallas
ISD).
The school level information that appears in this guide has been gathered from the
Texas Education Agency, the Dallas ISD website, or individual schools. The informa-
tion in this guide is subject to change at any time and it is important that parents,
community members, educators, and all others contact their schools directly to ob-
tain the most current and accurate information.
See page 226 for a more detailed description of our methodology.

CHILDREN AT RISK is pleased to share the Texas School Guide: A Parent’s Roadmap
to Success in Dallas ISD Area Public Schools with you. We hope that this resource will
serve as an important tool as you and your child navigate the public school system in
the Dallas ISD area. Because education is one of the most important influences in set-
ting your child on the right path for future success, it is important to find the school
that is the best fit for your child. That may look different for different students, and can
include certain athletic programs, course offerings, learning styles or a variety of other
factors.
At CHILDREN AT RISK, we know that there are many quality options for public educa-
tion available from neighborhood schools, charter schools, and schools with magnet
programs. Dallas is proud to claim the number one high school in the state, but two
Dallas high schools also landed in the bottom ten schools across the state. Therefore,
it can be difficult to understand the true quality of your student’s school, and what you
can do to ensure your child receives the best education possible.
We hope that Texas School Guide: A Parent’s Roadmap to Success in Dallas ISD Area
Public Schools will provide you with the information you need to make the best school
decision for your child. We look forward to providing this resource annually and wel-
come your feedback to help us make this resource as helpful to parents as possible.
Sincerely,
Message to Parents

5Texas School Guide: A Parent’s Roadmap to Success in Dallas ISD Area Public Schools | CHILDREN AT RISK
Parents today are faced with a myriad of choices in public education, including tradi-
tional public schools, magnet schools and programs, and charter schools. Each option
comes with its own system to navigate, and some also involve a complex application
process. CHILDREN AT RISK has developed Texas School Guide: A Parent’s Roadmap
to Success in Dallas ISD Area Public Schools to serve as a one-stop-shop for parents as
they navigate these systems.
Texas School Guide: A Parent’s Roadmap to Success in Dallas ISD Area Public Schools
has three main goals. We hope to empower parents to:
1. Understand How Local Schools are Performing
2. Become Aware of their School Options
3. Become Advocates for High Quality Public Schools
The Parent Action Guides contain helpful information and tips on early childhood edu-
cation, higher education, school choice, and parent advocacy to help parents navigate
the decision-making process. The school profiles included in this guide provide de-
tailed demographic, performance and school asset data, when available, on the public
schools in Dallas ISD, as well as information on independent charter schools that fall
within the district zip codes. In the school profile section you will see a letter grade as-
sociated with each school that will read:
A+, A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C-, D, F or Not Available (NA)
You will also see school rankings that indicate
how well the school is performing in com-
parison to other schools in the state. Each
school’s profile will include their ranking out
of the total number of schools ranked for that
grade level in Texas.
State Ranking: Individual School Ranking /
Total Schools Ranked for that Grade Level
across the State
If you find that your school is not ranked or
graded highly, we encourage you to visit the
Parent Action Guides to understand your op-
tions and what steps you might take. In some
cases, you may find a charter school that bet-
ter meets your needs, or you might find that
you are eligible for a within-district transfer.
You might also decide that changing schools
is not the best option for you and your child.
Introduction: How to Use This Guide
6 CHILDREN AT RISK | Texas School Guide: A Parent’s Roadmap to Success in Dallas ISD Area Public Schools
You can view all of this information online
at TexasSchoolGuide.org and search for
schools based on various characteristics:
school type, grade level, school assets or
programs, and distance. It is important to
remember that many factors contribute
to making a school a good fit for your
child. Only you can decide what is most
important when making that decision.
Regardless of your choice, we hope that

map to Success in Dallas ISD Area Public
Schools can provide the resources and
data you need along your journey!

What Are My School Choice Options?
8 CHILDREN AT RISK | Texas School Guide: A Parent’s Roadmap to Success in Dallas ISD Area Public Schools
What Are My School Choice Options?
What Is School Choice?School choice is choosing a school for your child based on the qualities of the school
and your child’s needs, rather than on your home address. While school choice op-
tions vary from district to district, parents do have alternatives to the traditional
neighborhood school the district assigns your child to attend. When considering other
public school options for your child, you may consider charter schools as well as mag-
net schools and programs. No type of school is inherently superior, and to determine
which school is right for your child, you must research the individual schools.
CHILDREN AT RISK gives a letter grade of A, B,
C, D, or F to schools throughout the state of Tex-
as, with schools with an A letter grade being the
highest performing. For the purpose of Texas
School Guide: A Parent’s Roadmap to Success
in Dallas ISD Area Public Schools, the schools’
letter grades have been further differentiated
with pluses or minuses to give parents a more in
depth look at school quality. Schools with letter
grades in the A, B, or C range are considered ac-
ceptable options for student success. CHILDREN
AT RISK considers D and F schools to be of low-
er quality and underperforming in some areas. If
your child is attending a traditional neighborhood school that is lower performing, you
may want to consider what other options you have. Options include transferring your
child to a different school within the district, applying to a magnet program, opting for
a charter school, or improving the quality of your child’s current school from within.
These options are described in greater detail in this section:• Visiting a School: Questions to Ask and Things to Look For
• Understanding Your Options: What are Neighborhood Schools, Charter Schools,
Magnet Schools, and Private Schools?
• Transfer Options within Dallas ISD
• Charter School Options and the Application Process
• Magnet Schools / Program Options and the Application Process
• Career Academies and Pathways at Dallas ISD High Schools
Visiting a School
If you choose to send your child to another school, you should visit the individual cam-
puses and consider what matters most to you and your family. Here is a list of ques-
tions to ask, as well as important things to look for when visiting a school:
Parents do have alternatives to the traditional neighborhood
school the district assigns your child
to attend
9Texas School Guide: A Parent’s Roadmap to Success in Dallas ISD Area Public Schools | CHILDREN AT RISK
Questions to Ask When Visiting a School• What is the school’s mission? The
mission statement is usually a summary
statement of the school’s values and
purpose.
• What is the school’s approach to safety
and discipline?
• How does the school monitor student
progress?
• What strategies do teachers use to
teach students with limited English
proficiency?
• How do students get to school? Is bus
transportation available?
• Are free or reduced-price meals offered?
• What extracurricular opportunities are available for students?
• How do fine arts fit into the curriculum?
• What rules and systems are most important in classrooms?
• Are there opportunities for parents to get involved?
• What systems are in place for students that are struggling?
• What is the typical class size? What is the maximum class size?
• If a child is excelling academically, are there advanced courses or enrichment
programs?
• How is technology used to support teaching and learning?
• What are the school’s greatest accomplishments?
• What are the school’s greatest challenges?
• How do teachers communicate with parents?
• Are parent-teacher conferences scheduled regularly throughout the year?
• What is the student attrition rate? The student attrition rate represents the
numbers of students dropping out.
• What is the teacher attrition rate? The teacher attrition rate represents the number
of teachers leaving the school.
Things to Look For When Visiting a School• Do teachers interact with their students in a positive manner?
• Do classrooms look cheerful?
• Are the students well-behaved as they transition in the hallways and play outside?
• Do the school’s administrators interact positively with students, teachers, and
parents?
• Are the classrooms, hallways, restrooms, and outside areas of the school clean and
well maintained?
• Are students adequately supervised by school personnel?
• Do students engage with each other in a positive way?
• Are the teachers keeping students engaged and thinking critically?

Understanding Your Options
What Are Neighborhood Schools?A neighborhood school is the school that a child is assigned to based on their home
address, and according to the district’s boundaries and attendance zones. Dallas ISD
provides a resource that allows you to enter your home address and identify your
neighborhood school: www.dallasisd.org/Page/22686. These boundaries change
frequently, so you should call your school to confirm which neighborhood school your
child has been assigned to before enrolling.
What Are Charter Schools?Charter schools are public schools that operate independently of local school districts.
They are tuition-free and publicly funded by local, state, and federal dollars. In addition,
charter schools also receive private donations. Charter schools are open to any student
within a specified region that wishes to apply. Because applications exceed the space
available at charter schools, many charter schools use a lottery system to determine
enrollment. Although charter schools are subject to the same rules and regulations as
traditional public schools, they generally enjoy greater flexibility. For example, some
charter schools have a longer school day and school year than traditional schools.
What Are Magnet Schools / Programs?Magnet schools are public schools of choice that are either run by a school district or
a group of school districts. These schools are named magnet schools because they
tend to draw students from different attendance zone boundaries. The curriculum of a
magnet school or program is aligned to a particular focus area, such as Science Tech-
nology Engineering Mathematics (STEM), performing arts, leadership, or certain career
paths. These programs require an application, and some are selective while others use
a lottery system. Because magnet schools and programs are specialized, they are able
to offer a more intensive education in their focus area than traditional public schools.
Some magnet programs are housed within traditional public schools, while others are
housed on their own campus. In some cases, several magnet programs are housed
together on one campus.
What Are Private Schools?Private schools are schools that are not supported by the government, but rather
receive their funding from individuals or a private organization. Private schools usu-
ally require students to pay tuition. The application process is similar to the college
application process and includes applications, admission tests, interviews, financial
aid applications, etc. Private schools can have a religious affiliation or be independent.
Although this guide does not profile private schools, they are one of the available op-
tions for parents in the Dallas area.

11Texas School Guide: A Parent’s Roadmap to Success in Dallas ISD Area Public Schools | CHILDREN AT RISK
Transfer Options within Dallas ISD
While students in Dallas ISD are zoned to a particular school, they may apply for trans-
fers to other schools that better match their interests or needs if they meet the eligibil-
ity requirements listed below. However, all transfers are subject to approval and space
availability. It is also important to note that if a student transfers away from his or her
assigned school, the district does not provide transportation.
The three main ways for students to transfer include:
1. Student Transfers: Initiated because of student/family needs
2. Public Education Grant (PEG) Transfers: Initiated because of the school’s
performance
3. Out-of-District Transfers: Initiated because an out-of-district student wants to
attend a Dallas ISD school
There are application deadlines associated with each of these transfer options so be
sure to check the most current deadlines by visiting the Dallas ISD website or by con-
tacting your school or the district directly.
Student TransfersThe first type of transfer is defined as a “Student Trans-
fer.” A student may submit a transfer request to attend the
nearest Dallas ISD school that offers a program or course
that the neighborhood school does not offer, or to attend
another Dallas ISD school if the student cannot attend
the neighborhood school due to personal or family cir-
cumstances. For example, if the student is interested in a
program like the ROTC, but the neighborhood school does
not offer that program, the student may apply for a trans-
fer to another district school that offers a ROTC program.
Another example is a “hardship transfer.” A hardship might
be if a parent works far away from their child’s neighbor-
hood school, and would find it difficult to get back to that school quickly in case of
an emergency. The typical transfer window for this type of transfer is early January
to early March, and the transfer application will need to be repeated every year if the
child wishes to remain at the school.
The process for this transfer includes:• A parent needs to first contact the new school’s principal to obtain an approval
for a transfer. If the principal accepts the transfer, he or she will sign the transfer
request application.
• Once the principal of the new school approves the transfer, the transfer application
needs to be signed by the principal of the student’s neighborhood school.
• Finally, submit the transfer application for approval to the Student Transfer Office
at Dallas ISD (see contact information below).
12 CHILDREN AT RISK | Texas School Guide: A Parent’s Roadmap to Success in Dallas ISD Area Public Schools
• If the Student Transfer Office denies the application, the parent may file an ap-
peal and present his or her case to a committee. The appeal will usually take place
towards the end of the school year. In order to file an appeal, contact the Student
Transfer Office directly.

2617 North Henderson Ave. Portable 1
Dallas, Texas 75206
Office: (972) 749-5720
Fax: (972) 749-5724
PEG TransfersThe second type of transfer is related to school performance. Students attending
Public Education Grant (PEG) designated schools are eligible to transfer to a different
school. PEG schools are low-performing schools where 50% or more of the students
did not pass any of the TAKS/STAAR subjects in two of the preceding three years, or
schools that were recently rated Academically Unacceptable by the Texas Education
Agency. Every year, districts must notify the parents of a student in a PEG-designated
school of the school’s PEG status by February 1st. If your child is zoned to a PEG
school they can transfer to a select number of public schools. A list of current PEG-
designated schools can be downloaded at http://www.tea.state.tx.us/peg_2013-14/.
This list is updated annually, so it is important to visit the website to see the most
recent list of eligible schools.
Out-of-District TransfersThe third type of transfer is an out-of-district transfer. Students who live outside of the
district, but want to attend a district school may be eligible for an out of district trans-
fer. You can download the Out-of-District Form from the district’s website at www.
dallasisd.org/Page/100.
Charter School Options and the Application Process
Any student residing in Dallas ISD is eligible to apply to the charter schools listed
below, though this list is not exhaustive. Some charter schools also allow for students
outside of the district to apply, but priority may be given to those residing within the
district. Most charter schools operate on a lottery system. This means that the school
uses a random selection process to pick its students. If your child is on a charter
schools waiting list, it may help to follow up with the school to let the school know that
you are interested in getting off the waiting list if space becomes available.
While many applications can be submitted online, the process depends on the school.
In addition, some schools require supplemental documents or an interview/audition.
Visit the school’s website to learn more about the current deadlines and application
procedures.

Career Academies and Pathways
Career Academies and Pathways, which serve to prepare students for college and
careers, are specialized programs that are offered at comprehensive Dallas ISD high
schools. A Career Academy is run on a school within a school model and com-
prised of approximately 75-150 students. The Academies offer a personalized learn-
ing environment where students have the same core and career themed teachers.
The programs also include relationships with local business, community and higher
education organizations to enhance the applied aspect of the Career Academy
Program. A Career Pathway is a program that allows students to take a series of
elective courses that are focused around a pathway career theme. These targeted
programs provide students extensive knowledge and skills which lead to a certifi-
cate, degree, and/or career.
These programs are open to all students, but in order to enroll in a program outside
of one’s feeder pattern the student must be approved by the receiving school prin-
cipal. To find out what feeder pattern your school is located in please visit the Dis-
trict’s website http://www.dallasisd.org/Page/3201. Applications are available from
the school counselor, the website, or the Academy and Pathway Showcase which is
typically held in December. For a list of updated deadlines visit the district’s website
at http://www.dallasisd.org/Page/18562, or contact the district directly.
Here is a list of Career Academies and Pathways programs by school:

PARENT ACTION GUIDES
How Can I Get Involved at MyChild’s School?
22 CHILDREN AT RISK | Texas School Guide: A Parent’s Roadmap to Success in Dallas ISD Area Public Schools
How Can I Get Involved at My Child’s School?
Parent involvement is a leading factor in student success and outcomes. Students with
involved parents are more likely than their peers with uninvolved parents to earn bet-
ter grades, attend school regularly, have positive attitudes about school, and be better
behaved. As a result, parents can help their children succeed by becoming an educa-
tion advocate. Taking the time to be involved in your child’s education not only allows
you to ensure your child is receiving the quality education he or she deserves, but also
shows your student how important their academic success is to your family. Advocat-
ing for your child’s education means making sure that your child is getting the very
best education possible.
In this section you can learn how to:• Build relationships with people at your child’s school.
• Join parent organizations on campus.
• Get involved with decision making at your child’s school.
• Find your School Board Representative.
• Access services provided by community organizations.
Building RelationshipsThe first step to becoming an advocate for your
child’s education is to form relationships with
teachers, counselors, coaches, and administra-
tors at your child’s school. Forming these re-
lationships early in your child’s time at school
will make you feel comfortable going to these
people when problems or questions come up.
If you have felt frustrated and do not understand
the school process, or just have not had the op-
portunity to form these relationships, here are
some great ways to get started:
• Attend school events when you are able,
such as open houses, performances or award ceremonies.
• Join district groups, such as the School Health Advisory Council that focuses on
health and nutrition policies within the district.
• Join parent groups or organizations at your child’s school.
• Get involved in after school programs that your child is involved in.
• Get involved with the Site Based Decision Making Committee at your child’s school.
• Volunteer with the school or in your child’s classroom.
• Vote in the School Board of Trustees election.
• Request a conference with your child’s teacher, counselor, or school administrator. If
you work during the school day, you can request a conference at a time that works
for you.
The first step to becoming an
advocate for your child’s education
is to form relationships
23Texas School Guide: A Parent’s Roadmap to Success in Dallas ISD Area Public Schools | CHILDREN AT RISK
Outside of attending events and direct contact with the school, you can advocate for
your child by communicating the importance of education. You can do this by:
• Making sure your child attends school regularly.
• Making sure your child does their homework.
• Making sure your child gets to school on time.
• Regularly checking your child’s progress through Parent Portal to identify any
problems early.
• Regularly checking your child’s progress through Parent Portal to identify any
problems early. On Parent Portal you have access to many school related indica-
tors, including your student’s grades, homework assignments, and teacher contact
information. Learn more about Parent Portal at Dallas ISD by visiting http://www.
dallasisd.org/parentportal.
Parent Groups and OrganizationsParent Teacher Associations (PTA’s), Parent
Teacher Student Associations (PTSA’s), and
Parent Teacher Organizations (PTO’s) engage
and empower parents to become advocates
for their children. Although these organiza-
tions have similar missions, the PTA is con-
nected to a local, state, or national associa-
tion, while the PTO is specific to an individual
school campus.
Many parent organizations keep parents
involved and informed about what is going on
at school. This might include organizing a school fundraiser, working with teachers
or providing parent trainings on how to get involved at school. If you are interested
in getting involved in these organizations, contact your school’s office about how to
join. If your school does not currently have a PTA, PTSA or a PTO, you can start one.
Organizing a Parent Teacher Association:
Any school official, parent or interested person can organize a PTA. First, gain the
support of your school principal or superintendent, and multiple teachers. For
more information about organizing a new local PTA, contact the Director of Mem-
ber Services, Mary Jo Burgess, [email protected] or 1-800-TALK-PTA or visit
their website at www.txpta.org.
Organizing a Parent Teacher Organization:
To start a PTO, organize a group of interested people, agree on a common goal,
and start working together to make it happen. Examples include running an ice
cream social for parents, students and teachers to get to know one another, or a
school fundraiser to raise money. Because every PTO is an independent organiza-
tion, bylaws vary by organization. Learn more about organizing a PTO at www.
ptotoday.com.
Note that some PTA’s and PTO’s have small membership fees.
24 CHILDREN AT RISK | Texas School Guide: A Parent’s Roadmap to Success in Dallas ISD Area Public Schools
Site Based Decision Making CommitteeIf you are interested in getting involved in the decision making that goes on at your
child’s campus, you might consider joining your school’s Site Based Decision Making
(SBDM) Committee. SBDM Committees are school based meetings that include teach-
ers, administrators, community leaders and parents and are open to the public. Even
if parents are not part of the committee, attending a SBDM meeting is a good way to
meet school officials and learn about the latest updates at your child’s school. Contact
your school directly to learn more about SBDM.
Dallas ISD Board of TrusteesThe Dallas School Board includes nine trustees that are elected by residents of the
individual districts and serve for a three-year term. Trustees have a variety of responsi-
bilities including establishing school operational policies, hiring the Superintendent of
Schools, allocating financial and human resources, and evaluating school performance.
You can learn more about the Dallas ISD’s board policy online at http://pol.tasb.org/
Home/Index/361. To find out which district your school is located in, visit http://www.
dallasisd.org/domain/447.
Below is a list of the current board representatives. • District 1: Elizabeth Jones (Term Expires 2015)
• District 2: Mike Morath (Term Expires 2014)
• District 3: Dan Micciche (Term Expires 2015)
• District 4: Nancy Bingham (Term Expires 2016)
• District 5: Lew Blackburn (Term Expires 2016)
• District 6: Carla Ranger (Term Expires 2014)
• District 7: Eric Cowan (Term Expires 2016)
• District 8: Miguel Solis (Term Expires 2014)
• District 9: Bernadette Nutall (Term Expires 2015)
If you have concerns about your child’s school, first contact the school’s principal. If
you are unable to resolve your concerns with the principal, you may contact the Board
Services Department. Parents can also file a formal appeal against the decision of
a principal. If you would like to file a formal appeal, use the following form, located
under Policy FNG (Exhibit) on the online Board Policy server at http://pol.tasb.org/
Policy/Download/361?filename=FNG(XHIBIT).pdf.
Community OrganizationsLocal community centers, churches, and nonprofit organizations are important re-
sources for parent involvement. Some organizations offer parent trainings that can
help you learn how to request and have successful conferences with teachers, counsel-
ors and school administrators. Here is a brief list of organizations that are working with
students and parents in the community:

PARENT ACTION GUIDES
Early ChildhoodEducation(Ages 0-5)
28 CHILDREN AT RISK | Texas School Guide: A Parent’s Roadmap to Success in Dallas ISD Area Public Schools
Early Childhood Education(Ages 0-5)
Deciding on a childcare or preschool program for your child can be a daunting and
stressful task. There are many issues to consider including quality, location, cost, and
hours of operation. Fortunately, many of these issues can be resolved with a quick
phone call or visit to the program’s website. Unfortunately, quality, the main concern
for parents, requires more effort.
Why is Early Childhood Education Important?The first five years of a child’s life are the most
important in brain development. During this
time, children acquire knowledge at a more
rapid rate than at any other period in their life.
Children who attend high quality early educa-
tion programs are more likely to: be ready for
kindergarten, score better on standardized
tests, go to college, and have higher paying
jobs as adults. A supportive and engaging early
childhood education program is important be-
cause it starts infants and toddlers on the path
to success.
What Should You Look For in a Childcare or Preschool Program?Early childhood education programs such as pre-kindergarten and academically
focused childcare set children up to be successful students before they ever step into
a kindergarten classroom. These programs should provide children with developmen-
tally appropriate instruction in vocabulary, early literacy, phonemic awareness, math,
and many other areas that students often struggle with during their elementary
years. In addition, these programs should also help children to become more com-
fortable with routine and structure.
Licensed childcare facilities are monitored and regulated by the Texas Department
of Family and Protective Services. The state routinely inspects these facilities and
enforces basic health and safety standards. Records of the state’s inspections are
publicly available at www.dontbeinthedark.org. In addition, the National Associa-
tion for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) accredits and certifies centers.
The NAEYC standards are much higher than the state’s minimum standards. A list of
centers accredited by NAEYC is available at www.naeyc.org/academy/accreditation/
search.
After checking the program’s accreditation status and the state’s records for viola-
tions and compliance, you should visit the center to gain a better sense of both the
physical and emotional environment.
29Texas School Guide: A Parent’s Roadmap to Success in Dallas ISD Area Public Schools | CHILDREN AT RISK
Visiting the CenterDuring your visit, plan to spend 20-30 minutes
talking to staff and observing their morning
or afternoon routines (circle time, book reads,
and center time are the best times to observe).
If possible, avoid visiting during meal and nap
times as you will be less likely to see the qual-
ity of learning activities between the staff and
children.
Things to pay attention to include:
Physical Environment:
Classrooms and areas for children should be
open and visible from any other point within
the classroom. This ensures that the teachers can always see your child and make
sure that your child is not at risk for injury or participating in unsafe activities. Age
appropriate materials such as alphabet posters, letter walls, calendars, and weather
and reading charts should be at your child’s eye level (not near the ceiling or at an
adult’s eye level). For classrooms serving children three years and older, look for
evidence of: writing (both children’s and teacher’s), sorting, counting, as well as
number, letter and word recognition. These are all good signs that the program is
working on academic enrichment activities.
Emotional Environment:
Students should feel safe to share their thoughts and feelings in the classroom.
The classroom should not be a place for unkind words, bullying, or verbal abuse,
as these are detrimental to the child’s well-being and social development. Ask staff
specifically about their discipline policies. Also watch how staff members relate to
one another and to the children both in and out of the classroom.
Teacher Qualifications Ask teachers and staff about their qualifications. You are trusting your child to their
program and have the right to make sure they are qualified and capable professionals.
Early childhood teachers should have formal training in the field of early childhood
education so that they may adequately provide the instruction and care that your child
deserves. The state of Texas requires a high school diploma or GED, 24 hours of pre-
service training, and 24 hours of annual continuing education for early childcare pro-
fessionals. Suggested teacher trainings include classes on curriculum, safety practices,
first aid, and emergency preparedness. Below are the most common qualifications for
early childhood instructors.
• Early Childhood Associates Degree / Child Development Associates Degree from
an accredited program: teachers holding this degree have spent two years acquir-
ing knowledge on how to provide the appropriate environment and curriculum to
children in their classroom.
• Bachelor’s Degree in Education (or another field) with a teaching certificate from
During your visit, plan to spend 20-30 minutes talking to staff and observing
their morning or afternoon routines
30 CHILDREN AT RISK | Texas School Guide: A Parent’s Roadmap to Success in Dallas ISD Area Public Schools
the state specifying an Early Childhood qualification: teachers holding this de-
gree and certification have rigorous training in classroom management, curricu-
lum, and at least one semester of practicum in a classroom under the observation
of a mentor teacher.
Other Things to Consider and Ask About:• Waiting lists: Many early childhood programs have waiting lists and a registration
process, including a non-refundable deposit.
• Food menus: Some programs ask parents to provide the food for their child, while
others offer meals and snacks. For those that serve food, menus should be avail-
able to give you an example of the types of foods being served. If parents are
expected to provide meals and snacks, ask how the food is stored throughout the
day (refrigerator or at room temperature) so you know what you should pack.
• Time spent on the playground: Children should spend 30-45 minutes on the play-
ground in the morning and afternoon (weather permitting).
• Screen time (TV and Computers): It is recommended that screen time be limited
to no more than one to two hours per day for children over two years of age.
• Childcare assistance: Families meeting specific requirements (financial and other
factors) are eligible for childcare assistance. Check with your local workforce
solutions office to see if you qualify for childcare assistance. To locate your local
workforce solutions office, go to www.twc.state.tx.us/dirs/wdas/directory-offices-
services.html.

Preparing for Post-Secondary Education(High School Students)
There are many options for higher education
in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, including
four-year colleges, two-year colleges, and trade
schools. An advanced degree or certification can
create employment opportunities that may not be
available to those with only a high school diploma.
It is important to set expectations for post-sec-
ondary education, or continued education after
high school, early so that children are encouraged
to set goals that help them obtain those degrees.
In this section you will learn more about:
• Post-Secondary Education Opportunities in
the Area
• The Application Process
• Financial Aid Resources
• How Students Can Stay on Track with a High School Timeline
Post-Secondary Education Opportunities in the AreaIt is helpful to be knowledgeable about the different opportunities for post-secondary
education early in your child’s high school career. This way you can make sure that
you do not miss important application deadlines, required high school courses for
particular programs, or other steps that must be taken prior to admittance into a
higher education program.

33Texas School Guide: A Parent’s Roadmap to Success in Dallas ISD Area Public Schools | CHILDREN AT RISK
If your child intends to pursue higher education, you may want to consider the rigor
of the high school they attend. High schools that provide good preparation for college
should offer an academically challenging curriculum, a college-bound culture, and a
support system for navigating college admissions. Indicators of these characteristics
can include:
• Wide offering of advanced courses like Advanced Placement (AP), International
Baccalaureate (IB), and/or Honors courses
• High rate of students taking the SAT or ACT exams
• Available and knowledgeable guidance counselors
ApplicationsMost post-secondary tracks require some kind
of application. Community colleges have an
open-door admissions policy, which means
that students are admitted regardless of previ-
ous academic history. However, parents and
students should be advised that students in
Texas entering a public college institution,
including community colleges, must meet
the minimum threshold on the Texas Success
Initiative (TSI) Assessment unless they are otherwise exempt. If students do not meet
this threshold, they may be referred to Adult Basic Education classes, which are non-
credit and fee-based, before they are eligible to enroll in college coursework. You can
learn more about this requirement at http://www.thecb.state.tx.us/.
The Common App and Apply Texas are two widely used application processes for
four-year colleges and universities. The Common App is used by hundreds of colleges
throughout the United States, and Apply Texas allows students to apply for admis-
sion to any Texas public university, as well as to participating community and private
colleges. To learn more about which schools accept these applications, application
deadlines, and additional information visit the individual sites:
• Common App: www.commonapp.org
• Apply Texas: www.applytexas.org
It is necessary to visit individual websites, or contact the schools directly, to verify the
most current application procedures because admissions requirements can vary from
school to school.

Financial AidThe costs associated with higher education can be daunting for parents, families and
students. However, being aware of financial aid opportunities that are at your disposal
can help ease your concerns. Each university or college has their own financial aid
program, which may include grant and scholarship opportunities, and there are also
opportunities to obtain financial aid through the state and federal government, non-
profit and private organizations.
You should submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), as it will
make your student eligible for the largest source of financial aid available. The applica-
tion becomes available in early January, but deadlines differ by program. You will want
to submit the FAFSA as early as possible to make sure that you can take advantage of
as many aid opportunities as possible.
There are several ways to file the FAFSA:
• Online at www.fafsa.gov.
• You can download or order a paper FAFSA.
• Ask the financial aid office at your student’s college or career school if it can be
filed there.
Here is a brief look at financial aid opportunities and when you should fill out the
FASFA from the Federal Student Aid website:
High School TimelineIt is important to plan ahead for higher education while your child is still in high
school. In order to apply to a four-year university or college, your child will need to
take the SAT and/or ACT exam, typically during their junior year of high school. You
also should be aware of the admissions requirements of the program(s) your child
may wish to attend, so that they will be sure to fulfill all prerequisites during high
school. For example, some universities may require more science or math course cred-
its than your child’s high school requires as the minimum. Your child may also need to
take elective courses to be adequately prepared for college.
PREPARING FOR POST-SECONDARY EDUCATION cont.
AID PROGRAM DEADLINE INFORMATION
Federal and State student aid For the 2013–14 year, you can apply between Jan. 1, 2013, and June 30, 2014. However, there are a few first come, first served federal student aid programs, so be sure to apply as soon as you can. You can also find state deadlines at www.fafsa.gov.
College or career school aid Check the school’s website or contact its financial aid office. School deadlines are usually early in the year (often in Feb-ruary or March). Furthermore, many schools will offer work-study programs, which place students into part-time jobs or
paid internships as a form of financial assistance.
Other financial aid Some programs, other than government or school aid, require that you file the FAFSA. For instance, you cannot get certain private scholarships unless you are eligible for a Federal Pell
Grant – and you cannot find out whether you are eligible for a Pell Grant unless you file a FAFSA. If the private scholarship’s application deadline is in early to mid – January, you will need
to submit your FAFSA before that deadline.

Here is an example of a timeline that can help students stay on track to obtaining an
advanced degree or certification:
Freshman and Sophomore Years• Talk with your assigned guidance coun-
selor about taking college preparatory
courses and exploring higher education
options.
• Start getting involved in extra-curricular
activities and keep a record of involve-
ment.
• Register and take the Preliminary SAT
(PSAT).
• Schedule a college tour of an area college
to get a feel for what college might be
like. These tours are free and you can call the admissions office to schedule a tour
at a time that works well for you.
Junior Year• Work with your guidance counselor to establish a list of the higher education op-
tions that you are interested in. It may be helpful to consider how long it usually
takes students to graduate from that school. You can find more information on
college completion rates by campus at completecollege.org.
• Begin researching scholarship and financial aid opportunities.
• Register and take the SAT and/or ACT exams.
• If possible, visit the individual campuses that you will be applying to.
Senior Year• August – September
» Narrow down school options and create a list of application deadlines and
required materials, including scholarship and financial aid deadlines, essays,
letters of recommendation and transcripts.
» Register or retake SAT and/or ACT exam if necessary.
» Begin thinking about who to request your letters of recommendation from.
» Request transcripts from your high school.
• October – November
» Draft any required college admissions or scholarship essays.
» Secure letters of recommendation if required. It is best to request letters of
recommendation at least one to two months in advance of the application
deadline. This allows the recommender time to complete and submit a quality
recommendation.
» Ensure that your transcripts are accurate.
• December – January
» Final application dates for many schools. However, note that early decision
applications are typically due in November.

METHODOLOGYGLOSSARYAPPENDIX
226 CHILDREN AT RISK | Texas School Guide: A Parent’s Roadmap to Success In Dallas ISD Area Public Schools
Guide OrganizationThe school profiles are organized by zones. These zones were developed by group-
ing high school feeder patterns into geographically meaningful areas. Within each
zone, schools are organized by grade level: elementary schools, middle schools, and
high schools. This allows parents to view school profiles that are located in the same
area, and better understand how local schools are performing in comparison with one
another.
School ProfilesThe schools profiled in this guide include all Dallas ISD public schools, including
magnet campuses, and charter schools located in the same zip codes as the district
schools. Disciplinary Alternative Education Programs and private schools are exclud-
ed from the school profiles. All contact information and data from the Campus Profile
and Report Card sections come directly from the Texas Education Agency. Note that
while the CHILDREN AT RISK Graduation Rate utilizes data from the Texas Education
Agency, it is specifically calculated by CHILDREN AT RISK. See the definitions below
for further clarification.
School Rankings and Letter GradesThe numerical rankings and letter grades
come from CHILDREN AT RISK’s 2013 Pub-
lic School Rankings. To rank public schools
across Texas, CHILDREN AT RISK compiles
and analyzes the latest data collected by
the Texas Education Agency. CHILDREN AT
RISK utilizes a diverse array of indicators,
holding schools accountable for perfor-
mance on standardized testing in addition
to other measures such as performance on
college entrance exams, participation in ad-
vanced coursework, and graduation rates.
Much like the methodology used by other institutions to rank higher education pro-
grams (e.g., MBA programs and law schools), CHILDREN AT RISK’s method uses the
z-score statistic to standardize the data compared to all campuses across the state
and compute a ranking.
• SCHOOL RANKINGS: CHILDREN AT RISK’s 2013 Public School Rankings, ranked
a total of 7,070 schools across the State. Each school’s profile will include their
ranking out of the total number of schools ranked for that grade level in Texas.
» State Ranking: Individual School Ranking / Total Schools Ranked for that
Grade Level Across the State
• LETTER GRADES: All schools were assigned a letter grade, based on their weight-
ed composite z-score. In order to create cut-off scores for each letter grade, dum-
my schools were created that represent the minimum performing school for each
Methodology
227Texas School Guide: A Parent’s Roadmap to Success In Dallas ISD Area Public Schools | CHILDREN AT RISK
letter grade level. The dummy schools
were put into the rankings calculations
to see what their z-scores would be as
compared to the included schools, and
these z-scores were used as the cut-offs
for each letter grade. Once schools were
assigned a general letter grade, A, B,
and C grades were further differentiated
into plus / minus grades. The range of
z-scores for each letter grade was di-
vided evenly into thirds. The top third of
z-scores became “plus” grades and the
bottom third of z-scores became “minus” grades. In this guide, you will see the
following grades: A+, A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C-, D, F, or Not Available (NA).
The IndicatorsCAMPUS PROFILE:
• Race/Ethnicity: The percentage of students in each category of ethnicity or race.
• Economically Disadvantaged Students: The percentage of students that are eco-
nomically disadvantaged, i.e., coded as eligible for free or reduced-pric lunch or
eligible for other public assistance.
• Total Enrollment: The total number of students enrolled at that campus.
• Special Education Students: The percentage of students served by programs for
students with disabilities.
• Student - Teacher Ratio: The number of students at the school divided by the
number of teachers at the school. This indicator represents the number of stu-
dents for every one teacher at the school.
PERFORMANCE INDICATORS:
• Advanced Courses: The percentage of students in grades 9-12 who received credit
for at least one advanced course (including Advanced Placement, International
Baccalaureate, dual Enrollment, and others).
• CHILDREN AT RISK Graduation Rate: The percentage of first time freshmen who
graduated from any public high school in Texas within four, five, or six years of
entering ninth grade.
• Average Class Size: The average number of students in a 3rd grade classroom at
that campus. The Texas Education Agency defines the allowable class size limit
for grades kindergarten through four to be 22 pupils, though campuses may re-
quest an exception.
• Math Gains Score: The average gain or loss on normal curve equivalent score on
all Math state standardized tests taken by students at a particular campus, com-
pared to the same students’ performance on all Math state standardized tests the
year before. The gains score is only calculated for students who took tests at the
same campus for two consecutive years.
• Reading Gains Score: The average gain or loss on normal curve equivalent score
on all Reading state standardized tests taken by students at a particular campus,
compared to the same students’ performance on all Reading state standardized
CHILDREN AT RISK utilizes a diverse
array of indicators, holding schools accountable for
performance
228 CHILDREN AT RISK | Texas School Guide: A Parent’s Roadmap to Success In Dallas ISD Area Public Schools
tests the year before. The gains score is only calculated for students who took
tests at the same campus for two consecutive years.
• SAT Score: The average score for all students taking the Scholastic Aptitude Test
(SAT).
• Graduates Taking SAT/ACT: The percentage of graduates that have taken either
the ACT or the SAT college admissions exam.
• STAAR Advanced Math: The percentage of 4th or 8th grade students who
achieved “Level III-Advanced” on the Mathematics section of the State of Texas
Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR) examination.
• STAAR Advanced Reading: The percentage of 4th or 8th grade students who
achieved “Level III-Advanced” on the English/Language Arts (ELA) section of the
State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR) examination.
• TAKS Commended Math: The percentage of 10th grade students who achieved
“Commended Performance” on the Mathematics section of the Texas Assessment
of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) examination.
• TAKS Commended Reading: The percentage of 10th grade students who achieved
“Commended Performance” on the English/Language Arts (ELA) section of the
Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) examination.
The Performance ScaleTo classify performance on the Report Card, statewide data was used to calculate
quartiles for each indicator.
• 3+ Above Average: The school’s indicator for that category scored in the top 25%
statewide.
• 3 Average: The school’s indicator for that category scored in the middle 50%
statewide.
• 3- Below Average: The school’s indicator scored in the bottom 25% statewide.
Any field labeled “NA” indicates that data was unavailable from the Texas Education
Agency at the time of publication.

School AssetsIn September 2013, CHILDREN AT RISK conducted a survey to identify the different
programs, or “school assets,” available on individual campuses. An online survey was
emailed to the school principal designated in the Texas Education Agency’s Texas
Education Directory. The survey was emailed three times, and if no response was
gathered CHILDREN AT RISK staff members conducted follow-up phone calls to the
individual schools. During those calls, school asset information was collected from a
variety of school personnel, including, but not limited to, office managers, assistant
principals, and school counselors.
METHODOLOGY cont.
229Texas School Guide: A Parent’s Roadmap to Success In Dallas ISD Area Public Schools | CHILDREN AT RISK
The school assets that appear in this guide were selected based on information
gathered through an online parent survey, a series of three parent focus groups,
and information reported in the school survey. While schools were asked to
report whether or not they were a magnet school campus, the magnet program
identification that appears in the school profiles was generated from the lists on the
district’s website. School assets included in the elementary, middle and high school
profiles are as follows:
• Art Classes
• After School Program
• Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB), College/Dual
Credit Options
• Athletic/Sports Programs
• Before School Program
• College Counseling
• Music Classes
• Pre-k Program (Full Day)
• Pre-k Program (Half Day)
It is important to note that the school asset information has been self-reported by
a school representative or staff member, and is subject to change at any time. This
survey was viewed as an opportunity for schools to share additional information
about the programs available on their campuses. CHILDREN AT RISK understands
that not all schools had the time, or the resources to complete this survey.
If you are a school administrator and believe that your school’s asset data is incorrect
or has not been included in this guide, please visit TexasSchoolGuide.org to update
this information.
CHILDREN AT RISK will make every effort to include updated and current school as-
set data at TexasSchoolGuide.org and in the next edition of Texas School Guide: A
Parent’s Roadmap to Success in Dallas ISD Area Public Schools.

Glossary of TermsHere is a list of terms that appear in Texas School Guide: A Parent’s Roadmap to
Success in Dallas ISD Area Public Schools that may be confusing or new to parents.
Please contact us to let us know if you find any other terms confusing and we will be
happy to consider defining them in future editions.
Advanced Placement Courses (AP): These rigorous courses are a part of the Ad-
vanced Placement Program (AP Program) and are offered at many high schools. AP
Courses are taught by highly qualified teachers, offer college-level curriculum, and
culminate with an AP Exam. Some colleges accept high scores on AP Exams to fulfill
college course credits.
Charter School (Charter): Charter schools are public schools that operate indepen-
dently of local school districts. They are tuition-free and open to any student within
a specified region that wishes to apply, but frequently use a lottery system for enroll-
ment due to high demand.
Early Education (EE): The Texas Education Agency reports the grade levels that are
represented at each school. Early Education (EE) is a grade level for students be-
tween the ages of zero and five who have not been placed in pre-kindergarten (PK)
or kindergarten (KG). This includes students in Head Start programs who do not meet
the requirements for state funds.
International Baccalaureate (IB): The IB Program is a rigorous, focused curriculum
for juniors and seniors in high schools. It offers advanced coursework and, similar to
AP, involves subject tests leading to the IB Diploma. The IB Program is recognized by

At CHILDREN AT RISK we have taken our annual Public School Rankings and transformed the data into a guiding tool for parents. Texas School Guide allows parents to gauge the true quality of their public school options by searching for schools based on location, grade level, program options, school type, and CHILDREN AT RISK letter grade. If you are unhappy with how your child’s school is performing, don’t forget to visit our Parent Action Guides to find out what steps you can take to ensure your child receives the best education possible. Remember that none of this is possible without YOU - the parents! Please contact us if you want to participate in a parent workshop and learn more about the information in this guide. We also encourage everyone to provide feedback on this project by visiting TexasSchoolGuide.org or contacting CHILDREN AT RISK directly at: CHILDREN AT RISK3625 N.
