Located in GRAND PRAIRIE, TX. Serving grades PK through 05.
Sam Rayburn Elementary STEAM Academy serves pre-K through fifth grade in Grand Prairie, a diverse Dallas-Fort Worth city where roughly a quarter of residents are foreign-born. The school's enrollment runs small for the grade band, with a student body that is predominantly Hispanic and economically under-resourced; a substantial majority of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. The school's name signals a STEAM focus, though program detail was not available in the data.
State testing results for the most recent year show mixed performance across grade levels and subjects. In ELA, fifth graders scored considerably higher than lower grades; fifth-grade proficiency in ELA reached a higher rate while fourth-grade results sat below that and third-grade results on a Spanish assessment were very low. Math proficiency similarly varied by grade, with fifth grade performing better than third grade. Fifth-grade science proficiency came in low. Overall proficiency across all tested grades and subjects sits below the midpoint among Dallas County districts. A parent may want to look into both the school's STEAM programming specifically and the math and science instruction pipeline in the early grades, particularly given the low Spanish-language test results, to understand how the school approaches language learners and foundational STEAM concepts.
Housing in the zipcode is moderately priced for the Dallas area; both purchase costs and rents are somewhat below the Texas state benchmark. The rental and mortgage picture locally suggests affordability is in the reasonable range for families employed in the area's health care, manufacturing, and retail sectors, though as always, individual family circumstances vary.
The school does not report special-education or English-learner enrollment data, so it is unclear what portion of the student body falls into these categories. State testing participation data is also not available. A parent considering this school may want to ask directly about how the school supports multilingual learners and students with IEPs, especially given the student demographics.
