Dan D Rogers El, Dallas TX - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on Dan D Rogers El

Dan D Rogers Elementary is a prekindergarten-through-fifth-grade school serving about a school-sized enrollment in Dallas. The student body is predominantly Hispanic, with substantial Black and white populations and smaller Asian and multiracial groups. A large majority of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, reflecting a community with lower household incomes.

On state testing, the school's performance is mixed by grade and subject. In math, third graders show below-midpoint proficiency, while fourth graders perform closer to midpoint, and fifth graders' results are not available in the data provided. In reading and language arts, third graders struggle most significantly, while fourth and fifth graders show stronger gains, with fifth graders reaching proficiency levels above the school's average. Across all tested subjects schoolwide, the majority of students meet or exceed basic proficiency thresholds, though mastery (the highest level) is achieved by fewer than half. The school's overall proficiency index places it in the top quartile among Dallas County districts on the tested-subjects metric, a meaningful strength relative to peer schools in the county.

The school operates under Dallas ISD, which in May 2026 voters approved a historic bond to replace aging schools and eliminate portable classrooms, reshaping facility conditions across the district. The district has also shifted how it enrolls students in advanced courses, moving to automatic enrollment for those who score well on state exams rather than requiring parental opt-in, broadening college-prep access. Additionally, Dallas ISD adopted a new district-wide math curriculum and eliminated its internal standardized-test-prep assessments, so classrooms spend less time on test-specific drills.

The neighborhood where Rogers sits is part of Dallas, a large city with concentrated growth in residential development, corporate employment across multiple sectors, and a mixed character that varies sharply by area. Housing values in the zip code reflect a mid-range market relative to the city and county, with rental costs moderate by metro standards. The city has been adding protected bike lanes and expanding walkability in some districts, though most of Dallas remains car-dependent. Public transit is available through DART light rail and bus networks.

A parent considering this school would want to look into current performance trends with the school directly, especially in third-grade math and reading, where proficiency rates are lower, to understand what instruction and support the school offers. The school's above-county-average overall proficiency index suggests it performs better than many district peers, though the grade-by-grade picture shows uneven strength. The school serves a diverse, predominantly low-income student body, which shapes both the peer environment and the school's resource context within the district.

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.
