Seagoville El, Seagoville TX - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on Seagoville El

Seagoville Elementary serves pre-K through fifth grade in a school of roughly six hundred students in the town of Seagoville, a growing suburb southeast of Dallas that blends a small-town atmosphere with proximity to the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. Nearly all students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, and the enrollment is predominantly Hispanic with a substantial Black population, reflecting a diverse working-class community.

The school sits within Dallas ISD, which in May 2026 approved a landmark bond to replace aging schools and eliminate portable classrooms, a major infrastructure investment that will reshape the physical learning environment across the district over the coming years. The district has also shifted to an opt-out policy for advanced coursework, automatically enrolling high-achieving students into honors math, reading, science, and social studies, and adopted a new mathematics curriculum aimed at helping students master foundational skills rather than test preparation.

Academic performance at Seagoville Elementary is mixed across grade levels and subjects. In third-grade English language arts, about half of students demonstrated proficiency; in fourth grade, the rate climbed higher. By fifth grade, around four in ten students were proficient in English language arts, while the science proficiency rate was notably low. In sixth-grade math, roughly a quarter of students met or exceeded the proficiency standard. Overall, across all tested grades and subjects, the school's proficiency index sits above the midpoint among Dallas County districts, but the data reveals particular softness in math achievement and a sharp drop-off in science, especially by fifth grade. A parent may want to discuss these specific areas with the school to understand whether targeted supports are in place.

Testing data for third and fourth grade in math come from the Spanish-language STAAR exam and involved very small numbers of students, so those results carry less weight for interpreting schoolwide trends. The school has not reported data on special education enrollment or English learner identification, gaps that parents may want to clarify directly with the school. Because the school serves only through fifth grade, there is no graduation rate or high school pathway data to evaluate.

The Seagoville housing market, as of recent data, shows home values below the Texas state average, and rental costs are moderate, making it a cost-conscious community. The city's economy includes the Federal Correctional Institution, O'Reilly Auto Parts, and grocery and retail employers, and is experiencing steady population growth, with the city upgrading infrastructure and emergency services to keep pace. For families prioritizing an affordable, diverse, working-class community with access to Dallas ISD's equity-focused changes in course placement, Seagoville Elementary offers that setting, though parents will want to probe the school's response to the mathematics and science performance trends shown in the current year data.

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.
