Faith Family Academy, TX

Original Research by School Decision on Faith Family Academy

Faith Family Academy is a PreK-12 district in Dallas County with about two thousand eight hundred students across two schools: Faith Family Master Academy and Oak Cliff Faith Family Academy. The district serves a predominantly Hispanic and Black student population, with Hispanic students making up roughly seven-tenths of enrollment and Black students about one-quarter.

The state test data reveals academic challenges across the board. In math, proficiency rates range from around two percent in fourth grade to roughly seventeen percent in eighth grade, with most grades falling well below ten percent. English language arts shows somewhat better results, with proficiency ranging from around nine percent in fourth grade to twenty-eight percent in eighth grade, though these figures remain low overall. Science and social studies proficiency is similarly constrained, with eighth grade social studies showing only six percent proficiency and fifth grade science at zero percent. Across all tested subjects, when averaging performance, the district's proficiency index places it in the bottom quartile among Dallas County's school districts.

The disparity between grade levels suggests that students struggle particularly in elementary math and lower grades across subjects, with gradual improvement as students move through middle school, though absolute proficiency rates stay low even in eighth grade. The data includes both English and Spanish versions of the STAAR assessment, reflecting the bilingual composition of the student body.

On the positive side, the district's chronic absenteeism rate is above the midpoint among county districts, meaning fewer students are missing school regularly compared to some peers. Per-pupil spending is also in the upper range for the county, indicating the district allocates substantial resources per student.

A parent considering Faith Family Academy should be aware that state test results document widespread difficulty with core academic content across grade levels and subjects. The district's spending level suggests resources are available, so a parent may want to look into further with the school what academic supports, intervention programs, or instructional approaches are in place to address these performance gaps. No graduation rate or high school specific data was available to assess outcomes for secondary students.
