THE DALLAS EDUCATION FOUNDATION
The Dallas Education Foundation, the nonprofit philanthropic partner of Dallas ISD, connects community support and resources to opportunities that help students and educators thrive.
WHO WE SERVE
The Dallas Independent School District is continually preparing students for college or a career. The district offers a competitive mix of innovative programs, choice programs and instructional initiatives that support the increased academic achievement and the social and emotional development of its students.
Dallas ISD continues to build strong academic momentum, earning an 85 accountability rating from the Texas Education Agency for the 2025-2026 school year—a nine-point increase since 2023. Nearly 94% of Dallas ISD schools are rated A, B, or C, and students performed at or above the state in academic growth. These results reflect a community committed to ensuring that every student, regardless of ZIP code or family income, has access to an excellent education and a pathway to college, career, or military success.
"Dallas ISD is proud to partner with the Dallas Education Foundation, an organization that truly understands what it means to be all-in for all students."
IMPACT
The Dallas Education Foundation fuels initiatives that make these results possible.
Behind Dallas ISD’s record-high teacher retention rate are classroom grants, recognition awards, and resources for teacher support.
Behind the district’s rising reading scores are early literacy tools in the hands of students and thousands of books added to home libraries.
Behind pre-K gains are STEAM nights and robotics resources at our early childhood centers.
Behind students who graduate college, career, and military-ready are internships, scholarships, and college and career experiences that expand students’ horizons.
