East Dallas schools have received an impressive array of grades, with the latest state ratings for 2025 showing a majority of ‘A’s and ‘B’s across the district. Released last week, these ratings are a reflection of student achievement, progress, and efforts to close the gap between disadvantaged and non-disadvantaged student groups.
In total, East Dallas schools earned 10 ‘A’s, 16 ‘B’s, five ‘C’s, one ‘D’, and notably, no ‘F’s. This marks a significant improvement since the last grading release, with ‘B’ being the most common grade this time around. Interestingly, the number of ‘A’ grades has increased, while the number of ‘C’s and ‘D’s has decreased.
According to a recent article in the Dallas ISD News Hub, the overall Dallas Independent School District (DISD) earned a ‘B’ rating. The number of campuses with ‘A’ and ‘B’ ratings has also seen an increase, while those with ‘F’s have notably decreased.
Superintendent Stephanie S. Elizalde commended the results in the Dallas ISD article, stating, “These results reflect the unwavering commitment of our educators, students and families. None of this happens without them. While there is still work to be done, these results are a clear sign that we are moving in the right direction, and we will not stop until every school is achieving at a high level. It’s what our kids deserve, and it’s the legacy we are committed to build for every student.”
