Haggar El, Dallas TX - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on Haggar El

Haggar Elementary serves pre-kindergarten through fifth grade in the Campbell Road area of Dallas, within Plano ISD. The school is a regular public elementary with an enrollment of about six hundred students, distributed fairly evenly across its grade band. It serves a diverse student body: the cohort is roughly a third white, a quarter Hispanic, a quarter Black, and a small share Asian and multiracial. About half the enrollment qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a moderately mixed socioeconomic profile for the area.

Academic performance at Haggar sits below the midpoint across Collin County districts when measured by proficiency rate. On the most recent state assessments, results show uneven strength by subject and grade. In English/language arts, the school shows a progression of improvement across grades, with a weaker result in third grade and steadily rising performance through fourth and fifth. Fifth-grade ELA reaches a point where a majority of students achieve proficiency. Math is a softer area overall: third grade is near the midpoint, but fourth-grade performance dips noticeably below that, before recovering somewhat in fifth grade. Science data is limited to fifth grade, where only a small fraction of students scored at proficient levels, suggesting this subject area warrants attention. When collapsing across all assessed subjects and grades, the school's overall proficiency index ranks it below the county median.

The school building is located in what has become a significant growth corridor for Dallas. The area near Campbell Road sits in a housing market where median home values are substantial and rents have been rising, though recent months show modest annual declines. The broader Dallas area is in a strong growth phase: the Dallas-Fort Worth metro led the nation in population growth in recent years, and Dallas itself has become a top market for new residential construction, with major developments in progress across multiple neighborhoods. That growth context is visible in the school's enrollment composition, which skews younger in its pre-K and kindergarten grades compared to upper elementary.

Plano ISD itself faces structural headwinds. The district has experienced declining enrollment over the past decade, and in response the school board closed four schools effective the 2025-26 school year (Davis and Forman elementary, Armstrong and Carpenter middle), shifting attendance boundaries and reassigning students districtwide. Haggar was not among the closures, but the district's contraction is part of the backdrop. At the same time, voters approved a slate of campus improvement and technology bonds in 2022, along with an operating tax increase, which set in motion facility and infrastructure investments across the district. The combination of cost pressures and declining enrollment creates a mixed near-term outlook.

Haggar's core strength is its linguistic diversity and the working toward higher proficiency in upper-grade language arts. Its soft spot is math proficiency in the middle grades and science instruction in fifth grade. Parents considering the school may want to look into its specific interventions in these areas and how the school addresses students who do not yet meet grade-level standards. The school's position in a growth neighborhood and within Plano ISD's broader transition are factual conditions that shape the environment and may be worth understanding in context with enrollment and boundary shifts.

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.
