Schools and Services in Dallas: A Closer Look
Overview
Dallas, Texas, is renowned for its vibrant downtown architecture and the beloved Dallas Cowboys. The city's educational institutions, particularly the Dallas Schools, are a testament to this excellence.
Recognition and Achievements
Recently, Dallas Schools celebrated a remarkable achievement at an IBM Corporation-sponsored event. Thirteen schools were labeled "exemplary," and sixty-seven others were recognized for their achievements. No other urban district in Texas matched these numbers in 2006.
To be deemed exemplary, 90% of students must pass all subjects on the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS). For a recognized status, the requirement is 70%. Dallas Schools General Superintendent Michael Hinojosa praised the hard work of students, teachers, administrators, and parents, acknowledging their dedication to achieving these high Texas Education Agency rankings.
Continued Improvements
Dallas Schools are continually evolving. In February, a new arts coalition provided funding for 140 certified music and art teachers over the next six years. Sixty teachers have already been hired. By 2009, all elementary schools in Dallas aim to offer 45 minutes of art and music weekly.
The Wallace Foundation, a coalition member, is contributing $8 million over three years to Big Thought, a local nonprofit. This partnership supports the Dallas Arts Learning Initiative, aiming to enhance arts education quality and access in Dallas Schools.
Excellence in Education
The Talented and Gifted (TAG) magnet and the School of Science and Engineering were ranked the top high schools in the country by Newsweek Magazine. TAG earned this honor for the second consecutive year. The School of Science and Engineering moved from 8th to 2nd place.
The Science and Engineering magnet has been the leading school for minorities passing Calculus AB and BC exams for the past five years, ranking number one globally for Calculus AB. Principal Richard White highlighted this success, attributing it to the collaboration between students and staff.
Conclusion
Dallas Schools are setting a standard of excellence, with extended elementary services and nationally acclaimed institutions. Despite challenges like budget cuts and high-stakes testing, Dallas Schools showcase significant successes, offering students a wealth of opportunities.
