Reinhardt El, Dallas TX - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on Reinhardt El

Reinhardt Elementary serves prekindergarten through fifth grade in Dallas, near the Losa Drive area of the city's east-central neighborhoods. The school enrolls a small elementary population, with enrollment fairly balanced across the grade band.

The student body is predominantly Hispanic, with most students from low-income families. A substantial share of families qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. The school does not report separate counts for students receiving special education services or classified as English learners, so parents seeking detail on those supports may want to ask the school directly.

In academics, the school shows mixed performance across grade levels and subjects. In third-grade math, proficiency is notably low. By fourth and fifth grades, math proficiency improves substantially and sits at a moderate level. In English language arts, fourth grade shows stronger performance, while third and fifth grades are lower. Science proficiency in fifth grade, the only grade tested in that subject, is also quite low. Across all subjects measured, when Texas counts students at the "approaches" level and above, the school reports strong school-wide rates; when the bar rises to "meets" or "masters," the rates drop considerably. In this gap between "approaching" and "meeting" standards, parents may want to understand what support systems exist for students progressing from foundational skills toward deeper mastery.

The school sits in a Dallas neighborhood where median home values are in the mid-range for the metro area, and rents remain accessible. The school's proficiency index places it in the top quartile relative to other schools in Dallas County, which suggests stronger-than-typical performance within its urban district context, though the absolute proficiency numbers and the grade-by-grade variation indicate there is meaningful room for growth.

Dallas ISD recently approved a historic bond that will replace aging school buildings and eliminate portable classrooms across the district, which affects facilities planning. The district has also shifted advanced coursework from opt-in to opt-out enrollment, automatically placing eligible students into honors-level math, reading, science, and social studies, broadening access to college-prep pathways. A new math curriculum district-wide is in place, and the district has reduced reliance on internal test prep, focusing instead on the state's STAAR exams.

For families considering Reinhardt, the school offers a neighborhood elementary setting serving a predominantly low-income, Hispanic student population in a rapidly growing part of Dallas. The academic profile shows emerging strength in upper elementary grades and math, though science and some literacy benchmarks remain areas of focus. The school operates within a district undergoing significant infrastructure and instructional change, with expanding advanced course access and a new math curriculum that may shape the learning environment over time.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
