An overview of Dallas public schools
The federal directory lists 355 public schools in Dallas, TX: 210 elementary, 58 middle, 67 high, 20 combined or other. The 351 schools that reported 2024–25 membership enrolled 203,656 students, an average of 580 per school. The largest campus is Skyline H S (3,837 students), and the largest elementary school is Trinity Basin Preparatory - Dallas (1,873).
Dallas ISD operates the most schools here (229), and 12 regular districts have at least one Dallas campus, plus 24 charter, service, or other agencies. City names come from school mailing addresses, which often differ from district or municipal boundaries.
Across schools that reported staffing, the median student–teacher ratio is 14.9:1, similar to the statewide school median of 14.5:1. A ratio counts classroom-teacher FTE against total enrollment, so specialized programs and part-time staffing can move it; ask schools for actual class sizes by grade.
School choice options include 69 charter schools, 24 magnet schools, 2 virtual schools. Application windows and lotteries usually open months before the school year.
Among 68 high and combined schools with 2021–22 civil-rights data, 53 reported students enrolled in AP courses and 37 of 77 reported computer-science classes. Confirm current course catalogs directly with each school.
About 84% of students in reporting schools were eligible for free or reduced-price meals in 2024–25. This describes the community served; it is not a quality signal, and community-eligibility schools can report differently.
