Stults Road El, Dallas TX - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on Stults Road El

Stults Road Elementary is a PreK through 6th grade school in Dallas serving a student population in economic need and linguistic diversity. The school enrolls students across eight grade bands, with a substantial share from families qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. About a third of students are Black, roughly another third are Hispanic, a smaller share are Asian, and the remainder span other backgrounds. The school's enrollment is small for its grade band.

Academic performance here is markedly below comparable schools in the county. In English language arts, the school's proficiency across tested grades ranges from as low as one in six students in one grade to about one in three in others. In math, the picture is more concerning: only a small share of students in tested grades are meeting proficiency, with some grades showing near-single-digit proficiency rates. Science proficiency sits similarly low. Across all subjects measured, only a modest share of students are reaching the meets or masters levels; well over half are at the approaches level. None of this represents a school at baseline. These results place the school in the bottom quartile among Dallas County schools on overall proficiency, which a parent may want to look into further with the school to understand root causes and available supports.

The data does not provide information on specialized programs, staffing, discipline practices, attendance, or the nature of special education and English learner services at the school. A parent exploring the school should ask directly about intervention structures, reading and math support, English learner accommodations, and how the school is working to close the achievement gaps evident in these numbers.

Richardson Independent School District, which operates this school, has made district-wide investment and structural changes relevant to families. In November 2025, voters approved a large bond package funding a new Career and Technical Education Center shared across the district's high schools, technology device replacement, and other facilities work. The district is also reconfiguring itself from a junior-high to a middle-school model, moving sixth grade from elementary into middle schools serving grades 6-8. Stults Road will eventually be affected by this transition, though the exact timeline depends on when its campus completes the conversion.

Dallas itself is experiencing rapid growth and development. The city's housing market shows home values holding broadly steady while rents have softened slightly. For families considering this area, the neighborhood carries moderate housing costs and the city offers major parks like White Rock Lake and Klyde Warren Park, plus transit service through DART.

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.
