Dale B. Davis Elementary Ranked #9

Elementary in North Texas

Many organizations try to pinpoint top campuses, including Newsweek 's list of the nation's best high schools, the state's school rating system and a host of education think tank reports. The Children at Risk Study ranks Texas elementary, middle and high school campuses based on more measures than most.

The Children at Risk study uses 14 categories to measure high schools, which gives parents a different lens through which to view their schools. But the rankings come with some significant caveats. Some of the area's known high-achieving schools didn't make the cut because of missing data or because their high schools aren't traditional ninth- through 12th-grade campuses.

Many of the schools at the top of the ratings were magnet schools and are selective in admissions. Unlike many other top-performing campuses, they're diverse and enroll a sizable share of low-income students, who often struggle in school.

"These schools are small and they're theme-based, and they truly try to engage kids, and they're a really good model," said Robert Sanborn, president of Children at Risk.

The Children at Risk rankings are based on 2007 and 2008 data, the most recent available, so this year's TAKS scores are not reflected.

How they did it.

Children at Risk ranked more than 5,900 schools statewide. In North Texas, 807 elementary schools, 292 middle schools and 158 high schools were ranked.

For each group of schools, Children at Risk calculated a composite score computed from information collected mostly from the Texas Education Agency. Data in up to 14 categories were included from the most recent year available, 2007 or 2008. Schools that did not have all measures available were not rated.

Elementary Measures

  • Average class size for fifth grade
  • Attendance rates

The Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP)

is designed for families

who earn too much money to qualify for health care,

yet cannot afford to buy private insurance.

The parents in some of these families have jobs

that do not offer health insurance for children.

Other parents’ jobs offer health insurance,

but the insurance is so expensive

that families cannot afford it.  

 

CHIP insurance can solve this cost problem

for many Texas families. In CHIP, most families

must pay an enrollment fee, which covers all children

in the family.  Most families also have co-payments 

for doctor visits, prescription drugs, and emergency care.  

CHIP is offered by private health plans.

CHIP covers services such as hospital care, surgery,

x-rays, physical/speech/occupational therapies,

prescription drugs, emergency services, transplants,

and regular health check-ups and immunizations. 

 

For a complete list of benefits offered through CHIP,

please call TexCare at 1-800-647-6558.
