2012 - Average SAT Scores of Poor Students in Dallas-Fort Worth Area

This is a list of average SAT scores of economically disadvantaged students in Dallas area high schools. These are students who qualify for the free and reduced lunch program and are typically a challenging group to educate. The scores include all three sections of the SAT - math, reading and writing. Each section has a max score of 800, with a total max score of 2400.

Some schools like Highland Park, Argyle, Lovejoy, Sunnyvale, Carroll and Westlake don't have enough low income students (if they have any at all) to have an average for this category, so you won't see those schools on this list.

2012-2013 Dallas area Charter schools- Pass/Fail Ratings

Texas has a new rating system for its public schools that is essentially Pass/Fail. Most schools passed. The bar was set low. Schools were either rated "met standard" which is the Pass or "improvement required" which is the Fail. In Texas, 80% of charter schools passed.

The new rating system is based on four criteria: (1) student achievement on STARR tests; (2) academic gains over time; (3) college readiness; and (4) closing the race-based and income-based gaps. The bar was set low because passing standards were low. For example, 56% was considered a passing grade on the 5th grade reading test and a 39% was considered passing on the 8th grade math test. The passing standards will go up over time.
